Abstract
Vascular anomalies are classified as vascular tumors (VT) and vascular malformations (VM). VTs are divided according to their clinical behavior, while VMs are classified according to their flow characteristics, histopathologic features, and associations with other anomalies. Sonography emerges as the diagnostic imaging method of first choice for assessing abdominal wall disorders and masses, thus representing a valuable tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of abdominal wall VMs. In this review, we report a case of abdominal wall arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a 17-year old and briefly discuss the cases of abdominal wall VMs.
