What is Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome?

Fig. 42.4 Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome. Mixed capillary-venous malformation associated with increased limb size.

This is overgrowth of an extremity secondary to a vascular malformation. The overgrowth invariably involves soft tissue but can also affect the bone (Fig. 42-4). The vascular malformation may be a capillary malformation (port wine stain), a venous malformation, or a combination of the two.
