title: Congenital genitourinary hemangiomas in a patient with the Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome: management with the neodymium:YAG laser.
abstract: The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is an unusual congenital anomaly characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, multiple varicosities, soft tissue hypertrophy and, rarely, gastrointestinal or genitourinary hemangiomas. The large bladder as well as multiple penile hemangiomas in our patient were treated successfully with the neodymium:YAG laser with minimal morbidity.
