Abstract 


We present a probable variant of the Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome with the clinical features of capillary hemangiomas, varicosities, and agenesis of the right iliac venous system, but without limb hypertrophy. To our knowledge, this is the 1st such case reported in the medical literature.

Right iliac vein agenesis, varicosities, and widespread hemangiomas: report of a rare case.

Abstract

We present a probable variant of the Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome with the clinical features of capillary hemangiomas, varicosities, and agenesis of the right iliac venous system, but without limb hypertrophy. To our knowledge, this is the 1st such case reported in the medical literature.
