Abstract:
Background:
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disease that mainly involves blood vessels and is characterized by the presence of capillary
malformations (port wine stains), varicose veins, soft tissue and/or bone hypertrophy.
Case Presentation:
We report a 28-year-old man who was diagnosed 20 years ago with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Approximately 3 years ago, he found enlarged
masses on both upper extremities and a new dark red mass that was pathologically diagnosed as cavernous haemangioma appeared on the right
index finger.
Conclusion:
KTS is a rare and potentially multisystem disease requiring multidisciplinary management for which imaging examination is an important auxiliary
diagnostic method. Various complications may occur during its development, so regular follow-up is required to prevent serious accidents.
