    Author: Drolet BA, Scott LA, Esterly NB, Gosain AK.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2001 May; 138(5):756-8. PubMed ID: 11343057.
    Abstract:
    A 3-day-old male infant with a 3-cm firm subcutaneous mass was found to have decreased platelets, decreased fibrin, and increased fibrin split products diagnostic of Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon. The vascular lesion was resected without complications. We suggest that early surgical intervention is an excellent therapeutic option for Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon.
