  • Title: Haemangioma-thrombocytopenia syndrome--a case report.
    Author: Liam CK, Nuruddin R.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1989 Sep; 44(3):263-6. PubMed ID: 2626143.
    Abstract:
    A 29 year old Chinese female who presented with spontaneous purpura, was found to have gross hepatomegaly and thrombocytopenia. The thrombocytopenia responded to steroid therapy but relapsed when the dose of steroid was tapered down. Subsequent investigations revealed that the hepatomegaly was due to a large haemangioma of her liver. For symptomatic hepatic haemangioma, surgical excision is the treatment of choice; this was refused by the patient.
