Abstract

We present the case of a 91-year-old woman admitted to internal medicine for possible rectorrhagia. The finding of chronic vulvovaginal vascular anomalies on examination, together with other vascular antecedents, led us to consider the possibility of a diagnosis of an entity known as Klippel-Trenaunay. This minority disease is one of a group of syndromes that make up the PROS spectrum (PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum). The recent discovery of a shared mutation, the PIK3CA (phosphotidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphonate-3-kinase) gene, has generated interest and the discovery of new targeted therapies.
