- The second surgery completely removed the vascular malformation.
- The patient reported no recurrence of the lesion after two years.
Takeaway
Doctors used two surgeries to fix a rare bump on a man's head caused by tangled blood vessels, and it worked really well.
Methodology
The treatment involved two surgeries: the first to ligate blood vessels and the second to completely remove the vascular malformation.
Limitations

Participant Demographics
