Abstract

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare disease and a syndrome that is characterized by the triad of congenital port wine stains,venous malformations with or without varicose veins, bone or soft tissue hypertrophy. Lymphatic filariasis is a filarial disease which usually occurs with genital anomalies, pathologies associated with lymphedema or elephantiasis caused by a filarial infectious agent. In this case report, a 20-year-old male patient admitted to our clinic for diagnosis and treatment with right leg edema and lesions compatible with dermatological manifestations. In the list of differential diagnosis, filarial elephantiasis was also thought, consequently KTS was diagnosed.

Lenfatik filariazis genellikle genital anomaliler,lenfödem veya elefentiazis patolojileri ile birlikte olan filarial enfeksiyon etkeninin sebep olduğu bir hastalıktır. Bu sunumda sağ bacak şişliği ve buna eşlik eden dermatolojik bulguları ile birlikte 20 yaşında erkek bir olgu sunulmuştur.
