  • Title: Association between extremity kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and lymphedema.
    Author: Konczyk DJ, Goss JA, Maclellan RA, Greene AK.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2018 Jan; 35(1):e92-e93. PubMed ID: 29266383.
    Abstract:
    Kaposiform hemangioendotheliomas are pediatric vascular tumors that do not metastasize. We present a patient with a thigh kaposiform hemangioendothelioma successfully treated using a systemic corticosteroid during infancy who was diagnosed with lymphedema in the extremity 9 years later. The observation that extremity kaposiform hemangioendothelioma could possibly be associated with lymphedema has implications for the care of patients with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma.
