A Port-Wine Stain in Association with Underlying Syndrome

Abstract

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a capillary-venous vascular malformation condition characterized by capillary malformation, soft tissue and bone hypertrophy, and varicosities. Here we present the case of a 29-year-old man who presented with port wine stain and recurrent ulcerations on his right leg. This leg was also larger than the left one. His condition was consistent with KTS. We discuss the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, complications, and treatment modalities of KTS.
