Abstract

The patient was a six-and-hal£-month old male infant showing an extensive portwine stain-type hemangioma on the right buttock, scrotum, thigh, and leg. A marked soft tissue hypertrophy was revealed by somatometry at each level of the lower extremity. Scanography of the lower extremities revealed that the affected side was longer than the unaffected by 1cm from the femoral head to the tibial distal portion. In additional findings, skin tempeature of the affected side was higher and anomalies of the toes were seen. Skin biopsy revealed a typical capillary hemangioma, and no abnormality was noticed on chromosomal analysis. A review of literature on this syndrome was presented and discussions were attempted on. various aspects of this syndrome including tis history and differential diagnosis.
