Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome is an uncommon genetic condition. The main pathology consists of arteriovenous malformations. It is generally asymptomatic but may present as soft tissue or bony hypertrophy. We hereby present a case of Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome of an 18 year old male patient coming with large venous malformations, lymphangiomas and A-V fistula at lower leg along with soft tissue hypertrophy of right foot. Patient was evaluated clinically and radiologically and a diagnosis of Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome was formed. Patient was given compression stockings and asked to followup regularly.
3. cases are important to diagnose clinically and are associ-
ated with high-morbidity and mortality. This diagnosis
should be kept in mind and should be diagnosed with good
clinical acumen along with systematic radiological
investigations.
