Phung presents on vascular anomalies at international scientific meeting

Thuy Phung, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of pathology at the USA College of Medicine and director of molecular genetic pathology and dermatopathology at USA Health, presented at the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) World Congress 2022, held May 10-13 in Vancouver, Canada. Almost 800 delegates from more than 50 countries attended the international scientific meeting, virtually and in person.

Phung presented data from a clinical study to assess the diagnostic correlation between clinical assessment, diagnostic imaging and histopathologic evaluation of verrucous venous malformation. The vascular anomaly disorder is challenging to diagnose in children, especially in the early stage of the disease.

She also served as moderator of a scientific session on combined vascular malformations as well as on the Scientific Committee for ISSVA World Congress to judge and select abstracts for the meeting program.  

“It was an honor to represent the University of South Alabama and the Department of Pathology at ISSVA World Congress, which is the most widely known international conference in the field,” Phung said.
