AB Vascular  tumors  in  children  are  rare  and  their  classification  has  been  difficult,  especially  in  the  pediatric  population,  because  of  their  unusual  morphologic  appearance,  diverse  clinical  behavior,  and  lack  of  independent  stratification  for  pediatric  tumors  in  the  World  Health  Organization’s  (WHO)  2013  classification  system.  In  2014,  the  International  Society  for  the  Study  of  Vascular  Anomalies  (ISSVA)  updated  their  classification  system.  Although  the  ISSVA  classification  of  vascular  tumors  is  based  on  the  WHO  classification  (refer  to  Tables  458-1  and  458-2),  it  uses  more  precise  terminology  and  phenotypes.
