“…In KTS there occurs a characteristic unilateral increase in dimensions of both hard and soft tissues, particularly involving the lips, cheeks, tongue and teeth. Also reported are ipsilateral hyperplasia of maxilla and mandible with increase in volume of the tongue and palatal vault (Ita et al , 2001). In our patient, the majority of these features were present but the tongue, teeth and mandible were normal.…”

“…Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome is characterized by an extreme degree of variability when affecting the craniofacial region, with the majority patients not exhibiting the classical triad of signs. The greatest variability pertains to vascular anomalies, which can range from cutaneous hemangioma to arterio‐venous malformations (Ita et al , 2001). The hyperplasia can be attributed to increased vascularity resulting from abnormal vascular development (Ita et al , 2001).…”

The hyperplasia can be attributed to increased vascularity resulting from abnormal vascular development (Ita et al , 2001). In our case also the vascular malformation and hyperplasia were observed on the same side.…”

“…The anomalies in this syndrome usually manifest in the extremities but oro‐facial localization can also occur (Defraia et al , 2004). Lesions in KTS are associated with capillary fragility and tend to bleed easily (Ita et al , 2001). In addition to capillary fragility, platelet dysfunction, clotting and fibrinolytic abnormalities can also occur (Ita et al , 2001).…”

In addition to capillary fragility, platelet dysfunction, clotting and fibrinolytic abnormalities can also occur (Ita et al , 2001). The purpose of reporting this case is to emphasize the relevance of performing more elaborate preoperative hematological tests in patients with KTS to avoid possible postoperative bleeding problems.…”

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a congenital disorder characterized by triad of vascular nevi, venous varicosities and hyperplasia of soft and hard tissues in the affected area. This syndrome usually affects the extremities but occasionally can manifest in the craniofacial region, including the oral cavity. We report a case of KTS and discuss the oro-surgical and dental considerations regarding hemorrhagic tendencies caused by the known local anomalies such as vascular malformations associated with this syndrome as well as systemic abnormalities.

Oral and labial lesions are usually the result of local disease but may be the early signs of systemic disease, including dermatological disorders, and in some instances may cause the main symptoms. This chapter mainly discusses disorders of the periodontal and mucosal tissues that may be related to skin disease and that may present at a dermatology clinic. It should be borne in mind that the professionals most competent in diagnosing and treating oral diseases are those with formal dental training and who are therefore in a position to understand the full complexities of the region. This chapter is divided into a brief discussion of the biology of the mouth, an overview of the more common signs and symptoms affecting specific oral tissues, discussion of the disorders of the oral mucosa of most relevance to dermatology and a tabulated review of oral manifestations of systemic diseases. Only the more classic oral lesions are illustrated. For reasons of space restrictions, diseases affecting the teeth, salivary glands, jaws or temporomandibular joints are not discussed in any depth.
