Abstract
We have recently encountered a case of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome which was characterized by hemangioma, thrombocytopenia, and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation. The baby was delivered at 35 weeks gestation. A large hemangioma covered right forearm. He received interferon alfa-2a for 120 days after 20 day steroid treatment failure. Blood platelet count increased to acceptable range (>20,000/mm3) after 8weeks of interferon alfa-2alpha treatment and the size of hemangioma decreased.
Key Words: Kasabach-merritt syndrome; Disseminated intravascular coagulation
