Studies have shown that port-wine stains (PWS) probably represent a progressive superficial cutaneous vascular plexus ectasia. During examination of .apprx. 500 patients with PWS, 7 lesions were identified that could be categorized into 2 groups. In 1 group (2 patients), the typical superficial PWS was accompanied by a proliferation and ectasia of thin-walled vessels in the deeper dermis, s.c. adipose tissue and skeletal muscle (cavernous hemangioma). In the other group (5 patients), single or multiple polypoid tumors arose that consisted of a proliferation of vessels with walls of varying thickness, and intervascular stroma (arteriovenous malformation). These tumors appear to arise in both young patients with flat lesions as well as the older patients with pronounced surface irregularities. Patients (2) were specifically chosen because they represented the typical PWS cobblestone pattern. This vascular abnormality represents a localized ectasia process exaggeration. A small number of PWS are associated with an underlying cavernous hemangioma. Besides the surface irregularities that characterize the older PWS, de novo vascular tumors arise that can be categorized as arteriovenous malformations.
