A Mild and Rare Form of Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome Presenting With Urethral Bleeding Due To Penile Hemangioma - 20/08/11
Résumé |
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is characterized by a triad of cutaneous port-wine capillary malformations, hemihypertrophy, and varicose veins. Intermittent gross painless hematuria is usually the first clinical sign. An 8-year-old boy with multiple hemangiomas, including glans penis, and associated with KTS presented with urethral bleeding. Radiologic and endoscopic evaluation revealed neither intra-abdominal nor intravesical hemangioma. Urethral bleeding was thought to be related to glanular hemangioma extending to the anterior penile urethra.

Radiologic and endoscopic evaluations and careful follow-up is essential for diagnosis and prompt treatment.
