Description Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that typically presents as a triad of symptoms consisting of venous malformations (varicosities), capillary malformations (port-wine stain), and limb overgrowth. We followed a 23-year-old African American male with a past medical history of peripheral vascular disease, who was visiting the dermatology clinic for a persistent skin lesion on his thigh. During physical examinations, we noted a subtle port-wine stain on his right leg, right leg hypertrophy, and peripheral vascular disease.

Dear Editor, A 45-year-old man presented with a large, dark, keratotic, warty, and friable plaque on the distal posterior aspect of the left leg (Figure 1, a). The patient reported that the lesion was not present at birth but had appeared approximately at the age of three as an erythematous patch that progressively grew over the time. During adolescence, the surface of the lesion became rough and warty and was easily traumatized due to its location, resulting in recurrent bleeding episodes over a period of years.

Fabry disease is a rare disease, defined as an X-linked lysosomal deposition disease that presents with multisystemic symptoms, including vascular impairment with thrombotic events. A 57-year-old female patient diagnosed with Fabry disease 11 years previously, presented with hyperhidrosis, hypoacusis, and angiokeratoma on the hands. Her previous pathological history included an episode of ischemic stroke before the age of 40 years and chronic acute thrombosis in the right lower limb, 1 year previously, which had been treated with stent angioplasty, with temporary improvement followed by recent relapse of the condition.
