| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | Port wine stains (PWS) are progressive capillary vascular malformations. Various publications have reported different results concerning the natural history of PWS. The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical manifestations of PWS, encompassing the type of lesions, associated anomalies, and their interrelationships. Data were collected from PWS patients in the Institute of Dermatology, from 2018 to 2023. This retrospective study included 135 patients, with an average age of 27.11 years. The proportion of females (55.6%). The face was the most common location (58.5%), with the majority of lesions appearing red (63.7%) and predominantly flat (68.9%). However, hypertrophic and nodular lesions were present in 20% and 10.4% of cases, respectively. The different age groups between hypertrophic and nodular lesions of PWS were significant (P-value = 0.022). Hypertrophic PWS patients had the highest proportion in the age range of 11-20 years, whereas Nodule PWS patients had the highest proportion in the age range of 31-40 years. Purple lesions were significantly associated with hypertrophic PW. The V3, upper lip, lower lip, and oral mucosa exhibited a significant difference in hypertrophic PWS. In conclusion, the findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of PWS’s natural history, adding value to a more comprehensive approach to its management. However, advancing future research will be essential for obtaining more information |
