Limb Overgrowth with Vascular Anomalies

A 17-year-old girl presented with progressive overgrowth in the right lower extremity, varicose veins, and ecchymosis. She had been followed up in another medical center for eight years with a diagnosis of vascular malformations and Kasabach –Merritt syndrome. Physical examination revealed significantly enlarged right lower extremity with a port-wine stain and varicosities. Laboratory evaluation revealed normal results, except for thrombocytopenia (thrombocyte count, 88000; normal range, 150000-400000).
