Abstract

<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> This article reviews the ultrasound characteristics of pediatric slow-flow vascular malformations and underscores findings that significantly impact diagnosis and treatment. Key imaging features are discussed including lesion size, malformation location, morphology, and mimics. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> Ultrasound findings affect the management of slow-flow vascular malformations and should be emphasized in lesion diagnosis. Superficial, focal lesions with well-defined margins are ideal for ultrasound evaluation.
