Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare locally aggressive vascular tumor that usually occurs in skin and retroperitoneum of infants and young children. We present a case of a newborn with a rapid tumor growth and a life-threatening Kasabach-Merritt syndrome with a progressive remission after treatment with vincristine and ticlopidine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
