Summary
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome can cause rare scrotal chyle effusion. This case highlights diagnostic and management challenges, including potential PIK3CA gene mutations and Sirolimus treatment.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Malformations
- Genetics
- Urology
Background:
- Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital disorder.
- It typically involves lower limb malformations, including port-wine stains and lymphatic/venous abnormalities.
- Overgrowths of soft tissue and bone can also occur.
Observation:
- A 48-year-old male presented with scrotal vesicles discharging milky fluid (chyle).
- Radiology revealed extensive pelvic megalymphatic malformations.
- This presentation is a rare manifestation of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
Findings:
- Initial treatments (pelvic lymphatic ligation, bleomycin sclerotherapy) provided only partial improvement.
- High recurrence potential necessitates further investigation.
- Genetic evaluation for PIK3CA gene mutation is planned.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of recognizing rare scrotal chyle effusion in KTS.
- Management requires a multidisciplinary approach.
- Systemic treatment with Sirolimus may be considered for PIK3CA-related conditions.

Pleural effusion is an abnormal fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, a narrow space between the lungs and the chest wall. It is not a disease per se but rather a symptom or indication of an underlying disease. In normal circumstances, this space contains a small amount of fluid (5 to 15 mL), a lubricant facilitating the non-frictional movement of the pleural surfaces.

Pleural Effusion Overview
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.
