Do arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) occur in other areas of the body?

We have about 100,000 miles of blood vessels in our bodies. So, it’s possible for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) to form anywhere in your body — on your face, arms or legs, and in your tissues and organs like your heart, liver, lungs, genital or reproductive tract. These AVMs are called peripheral arteriovenous malformations.
