It can present variably, ranging from a painless mass to non-specific symptoms such as dyspareunia. Due to the high relapse rate, extensive tumoral resection is reasonably required to prevent recurrences.

Article Synopsis
  • - Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare condition related to mutations in the PIK3CA gene, characterized by skin pigmentation, varicose veins, and malformations in the lower limbs, potentially involving the urinary system and causing painless hematuria.
  • - The case study discusses a hospitalized woman experiencing massive painless hematuria along with significant lower limb abnormalities, where she was diagnosed with KTS through various examinations like CT urography and cystoscopy.
  • - Treatment for the patient included placement of D-J tubes and anti-inflammatory medication, resulting in significant improvement, with conservative management being effective for many KTS cases, while more invasive options are reserved for severe complications.
