Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a borderline vascular tumor usually seen in infants and children as cutaneous lesions classically associated with the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon. Intestinal involvement is uncommon and can cause acute presentations, such as obstruction or gastrointestinal bleeding. A 5-day-old neonate presented with bilious vomiting for 2 days. The tumor was in the jejunum. Histopathological examination with immunohistochemistry of the resected jejunum showed CD34 positive endothelial lined vascular spaces infiltrating from submucosa to serosa, which is classical of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. There was no deranged coagulation profile. This case forms an interesting cause for neonatal intestinal obstruction.
