Vascular Tumors

About Vascular Tumors at Kayakriti

Vascular tumors and malformations are a diverse group of abnormal blood vessel growths that can appear at birth, in infancy or later in life. They include infantile hemangiomas, congenital hemangiomas, low-flow venous and lymphatic malformations and high-flow arteriovenous malformations. Each type behaves differently. An accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective vascular lesion treatment, since treating a high-flow lesion as if it were a low-flow one, or vice versa, can lead to disappointing or harmful outcomes.

Diagnosis begins clinically. We document size, colour, temperature, pulsation and how the lesion changes with body position. Ultrasound with Doppler is often the first imaging step, with MRI used to map the depth and extent of larger or deeper lesions. Occasionally, a biopsy or angiography is needed to confirm the type. Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, reviews this picture with you in plain language, so families understand what they are dealing with before any treatment is recommended.

Treatment is tailored. Many infantile hemangiomas regress without surgery and need only observation or medication. Low-flow venous and lymphatic malformations may respond to sclerotherapy, surgery, or both. High-flow arteriovenous malformations often require embolisation followed by surgical excision in a coordinated session. Tumor removal surgery is reserved for cases where the lesion threatens function, causes pain, bleeds or leaves residual deformity. We always explain why a particular pathway is being recommended and what alternatives exist.

Privacy and continuity matter, especially when children are involved. Photographs, scans and personal details are held in strict confidence at Kayakriti. Long-term follow-up is part of vascular care, since some lesions can recur or change over time. We coordinate with paediatricians, dermatologists and interventional radiologists where needed, and share clear written plans with families travelling from across Uttar Pradesh. The aim is calm, expert care delivered by a team that knows how varied these conditions can be.
