Abstract

A case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome described originally by Klippel and Trenaunay on 1900, was presented with a brief review of literatures. The patient, 30 year-old male, said that he had noticed a reddish plaque in his right leg at the age of about 10 and had felt the asymmetricity of the limbs about 5 years later. On physical examination, he had an ulcerated sclerosing hemangioma on his right limb which is extending from medial aspect of upper one third of the lower leg to the foot. It was also associated with the varicosities just above the hemangioma, edema and hypertrophy around the right ankle, and a visible elongation of the right limb. A plane X-ray revealed osteohypertrophy of tibia and fibula without any periosteal reaction, and a soft tissue hypertrophy was also noticed around the right ankle. Histological findings of the hemangioma revealed moderate fibrosis around the proliferated vascular tissue and two of the remarkable thrombosis in the median sized vessels.
