The diagnosis of KTS was based on an imaging study, which revealed vascular malformations. The author’s report is of a 36-year Thai man with; hypertrophy of the right lower extremity, whilst having suffered from two-months of bloody defecation. The magnetic resonance imaging showed venous malformations with soft tissue hypertrophy of the affected limb, genitalia and rectum.
