Vascular malformations are described in 25 members of one affected family. Most of these lesions were cavernous hemangiomas, but arteriovenous malformations and capillary heman‐giomas were also microscopically observed in some specimens. The five generation pedigree suggests the vascular malformations are genetically determined on the basis of a dominant inherited trait.
