    Author: Tanaka K, Shimao S, Okada T, Tanaka A.
    Journal: Dermatologica; 1986; 173(2):90-4. PubMed ID: 3792604.
    Abstract:
    Kasabach-Merritt syndrome with consumption coagulopathy occurred in a 5-week-old female infant with a hemangioma on her back. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy was improved by an exchange transfusion. Administration of steroid and radiation therapy was attempted as a treatment for the hemangioma and thrombocytopenia; however, it was unsuccessful. Complete recovery was obtained by surgical excision. Enhanced computerized tomography was advantageous to determine the size of the hemangioma prior to operation.
