Hello,

I think you meant Klippel Trenaunay Parkes-Weber syndrome.

There is a lot of information on this, and treatment mostly involves non-surgical options. Mayo Clinic has the largest experience on dealing with this syndrome and surgical debulking.

Please check these sites and am sure will answer all your queries:

(A case report)

Best Wishes.
