A venolymphatic malformation is an abnormal cluster of veins and lymphatic channels that developed before birth. It is not cancer. These malformations can be small and inconspicuous, or they can gradually enlarge and cause symptoms depending on their location in the face, mouth, throat, or neck.
In clinical practice, these conditions fall under the broader category of Vascular Malformations of Head & Neck in Glendale, CA, and the best plan usually starts with careful imaging and a clear explanation of what the findings mean for you.
If you have been told you may need Venolymphatic Malformation Treatment of Head and Neck in Glendale, CA, it helps to know that treatment is highly individualized.
