This 17-year-old boy was the only child born to non-consanguineous parents. His father and grandfather showed diffuse angiomatosis. He was conceived naturally. His fetal ultrasound scan showed IUGR. At birth, a diffuse capillary malformation involving the trunk and limbs was recorded. At age 3 months, he was noted to have left asymmetric overgrowth. During his follow-up visits, cardiac and abdominal ultrasound scans were repeatedly normal. Early developmental milestones were delayed, and at age 7 months, a brain MRI scan revealed focal hemimegalencephaly with right perisylvian polymicrogyria. From age 5 years, he started to manifest episodes of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which proved to be refractory to antiepileptic therapy. He was severely cognitively impaired and developed an attention deficit disorder. On physical examination, at age 13 years and 8/12 months, his weight was 41.5 kg (10th–25th percentile), height 154.2 cm (10th–25th percentile), and head circumference 50.2 cm (2 SD < 3rd percentile). He had left asymmetric overgrowth, involving the face, trunk, and limbs (mainly the legs) with diffusely soft and thick irregularly marbled skin and prominent capillaries and veins on the trunk, abdomen, and limbs. His 2nd and 3rd left toes were significantly larger than the contralateral and showed proximal cutaneous syndactyly. Besides the increased growth, he had dysmorphic features including malar hypoplasia, long philtrum and high palate, and S-shaped scoliosis. Skin biopsies from the affected (and unaffected contralateral) skin regions were obtained.
A 53-year-old female had complained of pain and knee restriction after surgical treatment of a knee tumor at the age of 31. The details of surgical treatment were unclear. Axial T1-weighted MRI revealed low signal with fat component and sagittal fat-saturated T2-weighted MRI revealed high signal intensity (Fig. e, f). Under the clinical diagnosis of atypical lipomatous tumor or high grade liposarcoma, needle biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis of angiomatosis was made. Then, surgical resection was performed. After the resection, knee restriction disappeared.
