Abstract
Cutaneous vascular disorders are common. They include arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels, or a mixture of them. In this review, we discuss classification, new developments in understanding and treatment of vascular diseases. We focus on infantile hemangiomas and drug therapy, vasculitides with new vasculitic syndromes, yellow nail syndrome and localized lymphatic malformations. Benign cutaneous vascular lesions may be a sign of severe internal diseases. In many cases multidisciplinary treatment is important. The dermatologist can often act as a pilot for these patients.
