The Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon is a rare thrombocytopenic consumption of coagulopathy that occurs against the background of such vascular anomalies as kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and giant angioma. Timely diagnosis and treatment of Kasabach–Merritt syndrome which includes therapy for vascular tumors and life‑threatening conditions are critical in resolving this rare vascular anomaly. The aim of the study is to analyze radiation therapy as salvage therapy for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and giant angioma associated with the Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon.

Subcutaneous Tissues

Many lesions involving the skin or subcutaneous tissues alarm parents and, often fearing cancer, they bring their child to a physician. Most lesions are benign and rarely life-threatening. The physician faces the problem of determining which characteristics suggest only observation of a lesion and which make biopsy necessary. Because many lesions have a predilection for certain areas of the body, this is a useful form of categorization (Table 1). On first inspection of a superficial lesion, several questions must be asked, including the known duration, change in size, presence of pain or other signs of inflammation, and any noted multiplicity. The examination includes an accurate measurement of the size and, most importantly, a determination of the level of the lesion. This will help establish the diagnosis and help to determine whether the possibility of malignancy exists. Essentially all lesions originating in the skin of children are benign. Some are obvious, such as a wart, while others may not be so clear-cut, especially if the epidermis is not altered in appearance. Upon palpation of a cutaneous mass, the skin does not move over the surface and puckers when the adjacent skin and tissues are compressed and elevated. If the skin moves freely over the mass, the nature of the lesion is not so readily apparent.
