Primary intraosseous vascular malformation
Definition:
Primary intraosseous vascular malformation (VMPI), previously called intraosseous hemangioma, is a very rare malformation that is usually seen in the vertebral column and in the skull. It is almost exclusively described in sporadic cases. It has recently been reported that loss-of-function mutations in ELMO2 is causative for VMPI in different families.
