| description | Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is characterized by the triad of varicosity of cutaneous veins, port wine stains, and soft tissue/bone overgrowth. It was first described by French physicians Klippel and Trenaunay in 1900. There is often overlap between KTS and Parkes Weber syndrome. The lower extremities are mostly affected and it is usually asymmetric; other sites involved are the upper limbs, trunk, and rarely, the head and face region. Therefore, the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with KTS symmetrically involving the trunk and lower limbs is reported. |
