Successful Management of a Rare Case of Arteriovenous Malformation of the Forearm in a 15-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report.

This case underscores the need to consider AVMs as an important differential in adolescent patients presenting with progressively enlarging soft tissue masses and neurovascular symptoms not amenable to common etiology, such as radiculopathy, epicondylitis, and trauma. MRI provides essential insight into lesion extent and guides surgical planning, which remains the primary treatment modality for symptomatic AVMs causing nerve compression. Although recurrence is a common risk, especially in pediatric patients, careful excision and follow-up are key to reducing this risk and ensuring better long-term outcomes. This case reinforces the importance of multidisciplinary care involving radiology, vascular surgery, and pathology for effective diagnosis, and management of occult symptomatic vascular malformations in adolescents.
