Abstract: Vascular malformations are quite rare but can occur anywhere in the human body, and when affecting the female pelvis, they present a unique pattern. A thorough medical history and necessary diagnostic methods enable the correct diagnosis and the initiation of optimal treatment. Arteriovenous malformations usually require embolization. The choice between surgical intervention or medical treatment is determined within a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. A clinical case of arteriovenous malformation of the pelvis in a 32-year-old female patient is presented, including her medical history and the results of a computed tomography scan of the abdominal organs with contrast enhancement. Additionally, an overview of vascular malformations of the female pelvis, their clinical course, diagnostic studies, and treatment options is provided.
