Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a vascular malformation associated with limb overgrowth(1). The name of the disease came from two French men: Maurice Klippel and Paul Trenaunay. There is an equal incidence of Klippel–Trenaunay Syndrome in men and women(2). The syndrome typically affects only on one lower limb(3); however, cases with more than one affected limb are occasionally found(2,4,5).
