Abstract
Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare slow-flow combined vascular malformation characterized by capillary-lymphatic-venous lesions with soft tissue overgrowth of the limbs. We report the case of a 37-year-old female KTS patient with a deep femoral arterial aneurysm. We finally diagnosed that the aneurysm had resulted from a fundamental defect in the arterial wall structure. We discuss whether the use of “aneurysm associated with KTS” is accurate and how to better classify this type of capillary-venous lesion in 17 reported KTS patients with arterial aneurysms. In this review, we describe nosological problems of arterial aneurysms associated with KTS.
