Abstract

Hemangiomas are common benign tumors in the pediatric population, they are the result of abnormal proliferation of blood vessels. The association between giant hemangioma and thrombocytopenia was described by Haig Kasabach and Hatharine Merritt in 1940. Kasabach Merrit syndrome is a rare and aggressive vascular tumor. We present the case of a 1-year-old patient with a giant hemangioma and thrombocytopenia.
