Abstract
An unusual combination of congenital malformations in a 16-year-old em otionally disturbed man is described. The anomalies included severe co ngenital bilateral leg lymphedema, bilateral gynecomastia, unilateral cataract, and malformed external genitalia. Genetic and hormonal inves tigations were unremarkable. Multiple concomitant operations (vascular and plastic surgeons) to correct the deformities and restore physical well-being and self-esteem were undertaken.
