Abstract

Venous malformations are common congenital vascular anomalies that can occur in various body parts, presenting with symptoms such as pain, swelling, and functional limitations. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical history, physical examination, and imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography. Treatment options include sclerotherapy, cryoablation, medication, and surgical excision. A 27-year-old male with a symptomatic venous malformation in the left hand underwent surgical excision after imaging confirmed abnormal venous structures. The surgery, conducted through small incisions, resulted in complete removal of the venous malformations with minimal complications. Postoperative recovery was swift, and the patient experienced significant pain relief and improved quality of life. Surgical excision is particularly beneficial for localized, symptomatic venous malformations and offers a reliable, low-complication solution compared to sclerotherapy. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for determining the most appropriate treatment strategy based on the lesion's size, location, and patient symptoms.
