Department of Urology, Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis.

The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is an unusual congenital anomaly characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, multiple varicosities, soft tissue hypertrophy and, rarely, gastrointestinal or genitourinary hemangiomas. The large bladder as well as multiple penile hemangiomas in our patient were treated successfully with the neodymium:YAG laser with minimal morbidity.

D007715	Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome	A congenital disorder that is characterized by a triad of capillary malformations (HEMANGIOMA), venous malformations (ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA), and soft tissue or bony hypertrophy of the limb. This syndrome is caused by mutations in the VG5Q gene which encodes a strong angiogenesis stimulator.
