[摘要] Klippel-Tranuanay Syndrome is a rare sporadic disease characterized by clinical triad of capillary malformation; soft tissue and bony hypertrophy; and atypical varicosity. Although this syndrome was first described more than hundred years ago, exact incidence has not been estimated yet. Several theories have been postulated to describe its pathogenesis. Clinical presentation of this syndrome is protean ranging from minimal asymptomatic disease to life threatening bleeding and embolism.
