Abstract

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are congenital lesions which result from abnormal communication between arterial and venous vessels directly without an intervening capillary bed. They may present as pulsatile subcutaneous mass which may bleed or ulcerate.We present a 28-year-old male with an unusually large AVM on scalp
