Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma with distant lymphangiomatosis without an association to Kasabach-Merritt-Syndrome in a female adult!

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a locally aggressive vascular tumor which usually occurs in infants. Clinically it appears as ill-defined red to purple indurated plaque. KHE is commonly associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) and lymphangiomatosis.

[Kaposiform haemangioendothelioma with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon].

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon is a serious coagulopathy associated with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE), tufted angioma, and possibly other vascular neoplasms. KHE presenting in the absence of Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon is rare, although tufted angioma frequently occurs without thrombocytopenia. We retrospectively reviewed 10 cases of KHE without Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon. The tumors app...

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon: successful treatment with embolization and vincristine in two newborns.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular tumor and has a high mortality in newborns when associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS). In two newborns with KHE and severe KMS refractory to medical treatment, emergency embolization led to clinical improvement in the acute neonatal setting by reducing tumor volume, increasing the platelet count, and improving other clotting par...
