Neurofibromatosis type I and Klippel–Trénaunay Syndrome
Keywords:
NEUROFIBROMATOSES, KLIPPEL-TRENAUNAY-WEBER SYNDROME, DERMATOLOGYAbstract
The study presents a case of association between two diseases that affect the skin and other organs: neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) and Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome (KTS). It is considered a rare medical condition. It was diagnosed in an adolescent of 13 years of age with a history of neurofibromatosis type I, who was taken to the dermatology department with a volume increase of the left thigh and suffering from a suspected vascular lesion underlying the nevus area. After several studies the coexistence with a Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome was confirmed what motivated the presentation of the case due to the limited frequency of association between these diseases. The importance of the genetic advice is emphasized, as well as the early diagnosis and the follow-up care of the affected patients, taking into account the possible repercussion on other vital organs.
