The two most common vascular abnormalities of childhood are port-wine stains and hemangiomas. Port-wine stains are congenital capillary malformations, whereas hemangiomas are benign tumors of vascular endothelium. The natural history of each of these lesions is distinct. Port-wine stains begin as discrete pink/red macules and grow proportionately with the child. As they mature they darken, and vascular ectasia and blebbing, as well as soft tissue and bony overgrowth of the affected area, can develop. Hemangiomas undergo a very predictable natural history, progressing through a rapid growth phase out of proportion to the child's growth, followed by a regressive phase and eventual involution in 90% of cases.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare disorder characterized by the triad of vascular malformations, venous varicosities, and bone and soft-tissue hypertrophy. We present a case of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome with limb hypertrophy, port-wine stains, lymphangiomas, and venous varicosities in the limbs.

Congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, and epidermal nevi (CLOVE) syndrome is a recently delineated disorder that comprises vascular malformations (typically truncal), dysregulated adipose tissue, scoliosis, enlarged bony structures (typically of the legs) without progression, or distorting bony overgrowth. The name CLOVE was subsequently extended to CLOVES to emphasize the association with scoliosis/skeletal and spinal anomalies and seizures/central nervous system malformations. We herein report a very rare case of CLOVES syndrome with the findings of lipomatous overgrowth in the cheek (facial asymmetry), vascular malformation (hemangiomas), epidermal nevi (large port wine stains), and skeletal abnormalities (widened first interdigital space, dystrophia in the nail of the first digit of the right foot, and bilateral hypertrophy of the first digits of the feet).
