Abstract

Abstract Infantile hemangiomas are the most common type of vascular tumors, affecting ~5% of infants within the first weeks of life. In rare instances, these tumors can lead to Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon (KMP), a life-threatening consumptive coagulopathy characterized by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and hypofibrinogenemia. In the present case, a 20-month-old patient is diagnosed with KMP. This case report highlights the challenges in diagnosis and management, reinforcing the importance of multidisciplinary approach.
