Abstract: The biologic classification of vascular anomalies proposed by Mulliken and Glowacki in 1982 had been widely accepted. In April 2014, a renewed ISSVA classification for vascular anomalies was approved by General Assembly of ISSVA in Melbourne, Australia at the 20th ISSVA International Workshop. The new system expanded and updated the classification in more details based on advances in basic and clinical researches, including newly named anomalies and identified genes, as well as coagulopathies. This paper introduced the new classification for clinical and research reference.

Key words: Vascular anomaly, ISSVA, Infantile hemangioma, Vascular malformation
