    Author: Rodriguez V, Lee A, Witman PM, Anderson PA.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2009 Jul; 31(7):522-6. PubMed ID: 19564750.
    Abstract:
    Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is a rare thrombocytopenic consumption coagulopathy associated with an enlarging tufted angioma or kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. We report a case series of patients with KMP and discuss the treatment options and outcomes. Nine patients with a diagnosis of KMP were identified through retrospective chart review-6 had "definite KMP" and 3 had "less likely KMP." The hematologic features of KMP and those of chronic coagulopathy seen with other vascular malformations can be similar, which makes KMP difficult to distinguish.
