Birthmarks & Vascular Anomalies Center

Request appointment
(415) 353-7823

The UCSF Birthmarks & Vascular Anomalies Center, founded in 1991, cares for patients with vascular growths, such as hemangiomas and other vascular tumors, or with vascular malformations, including venous, lymphatic, arteriovenous and mixed malformations. This includes patients with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome as well as those diagnosed with lymphangioma, cavernous hemangioma, glomangioma, Proteus syndrome and other vascular anomalies.

During your visit, you will see a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, interventional radiologist, dermatologic surgeon and otolaryngologist. This team will then meet to review your case (your medical history, physical exam, prior biopsies and imaging studies) and decide on further diagnostic and treatment recommendations. This arrangement saves you from having to go to multiple doctors' visits.

Doctor referral may be required
