PURPOSE: In @entity1 with extended @entity455 in the head and neck, therapeutic decisions may pose a challenge to maxillofacial surgeons, dermatologists, and interventional radiologists. We analyzed the value of an interdisciplinary classification and treatment concept. @entity1 AND METHODS: The classification distinguishes @entity2695 and @entity1462 . Whereas @entity2695 are endothelial proliferations, @entity1462 are considered to be @entity600 , which are further classified into high-flow or low-flow lesions and according to the vascular channels into capillary, venous, or @entity600 . Since 2000 we have provided interdisciplinary consultation for @entity1 with @entity455 . In @entity1 with @entity2695 and @entity1211 , the clinical diagnosis is confirmed by color-coded duplex sonography and magnetic resonance imaging; angiography is performed as part of the treatment planning for @entity1 with @entity2758 . @entity1 with @entity2695 are treated surgically by cryosurgery or laser surgery or conservatively according to lesion size and behavior. In @entity1 with @entity1211 , percutaneous sclerotherapy is combined with surgical reduction; @entity1 with @entity2758 undergo transarterial embolization prior to surgical excision of the nidus. RESULTS: A total of 73 @entity1 attended the interdisciplinary consultation. This group included 53 @entity1 with @entity2652 , 7 with @entity1211 with @entity600 , 5 with @entity600 , and 6 with high-flow @entity2758 . CONCLUSIONS: The interdisciplinary protocol increases diagnostic accuracy and helps to establish individual treatment plans for @entity1 with extended @entity455 .
