  • Title: Capillary hemangioma of the liver with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome in a neonate: report of a case.
    Author: Akiyoshi K, Mizote H, Tanaka Y, Nakagawa M.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2000; 30(1):86-8. PubMed ID: 10648092.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic hemangiomas are benign tumors, and therefore minimally invasive treatment such as irradiation or steroid therapy is often recommended. However, in patients who have a hemangioma complicated by Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, surgical intervention should also be considered because of its confirmative therapeutic effect. We present herein the case of a 32-day-old male infant in whom a huge hepatic hemangioma associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome was treated by surgical intervention together with strong antidisseminated intravascular coagulation therapy.
