Klipple-Trenaunay Weber Syndrome, A Rare Disease with Literature Review

Abstract

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is an uncommon spontaneous disease characterized by the clinical trial of capillary malformation, soft tissue and bone overgrowth, and atypical varicosities1. Although this was described almost a century ago, the exact incidence has not yet been estimated. Its pathogenesis has been described by a number of concepts. Clinical manifestations of this disease might range from a moderate, asymptomatic illness to potentially lethal bleeding and embolism. The management of this illness includes careful diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of complications associated with the disease2. Here we present an adolescent female 14 years of age who presented with right lower limb( around knee joint) swelling for the last 4 years which was progressively increasing in size when compared with the rest of the limbs.
