A female with hemihypertrophy and chylous ascites - Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome or Proteus syndrome: a diagnostic dilemma.
Asymmetric overgrowth has many differential diagnoses with considerable overlap, posing a diagnostic dilemma. The presence of chylous ascites, though unreported, might be expected as a manifestation of overgrowth syndromes with lymphatic involvement. We present a patient with hemihypertrophy who presented with chylous ascites at birth.
