Clinical Image of Arteriovenous Malformation of the Left Upper Limb: An Uncommon Vascular Anomaly

A 27-year-old patient visited the Outpatient Department (OPD) with a primary complaint of longstanding swelling in the left forearm and hand, accompanied by dilated veins in the same region for the past four years [Table/Fig-1]. The swelling had gradually increased over time, causing pain and discomfort during activity. There was no family history of similar symptoms. Two years ago, the patient was diagnosed with an Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) in the thenar eminence, identified through a venous Doppler study. An embolectomy was subsequently performed; however, the condition later recurred. The patient had no significant medical history.
