The child exhibited significant limb asymmetry due to hemihypertrophy and cutaneous hemangioma.
Diagnosis of klippel-trenaunay syndrome can be challenging, especially in young patients like this 4-year-old.
Affected individuals typically have a combination of venous and lymphatic malformations along with soft tissue overgrowth.
This case underscores the importance of recognizing the complexities associated with congenital disorders.

Implication

This report highlights a case of klippel-trenaunay syndrome, showing hemihypertrophy and hemangioma in a child, indicating its complexity.

Abstract

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a complex and unusual congenital angio-osteo-hypertrophic disorder where affected individuals have cutaneous hemangioma, venous and lymphatic malformations, and hemihypertrophy of the soft tissue and bones of the limb, causing limb asymmetry. We report a 4-year-old child with ipsilateral hemihypertrophy and cutaneous hemangioma, where KTS diagnosis was made despite being challenging.
