It is characterized by a single or multiple masses with following characteristics: ** Deep reddish-purple color ** Shiny, firm texture ** Warm to the touch ** Swollen and painful May be complicated by Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP), characterized by consumption coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, and hemolytic anemia. Typical features also include low fibrinogen and elevated D-dimers. Somatic activating GNA14 c.614A>T (p.Gln205Leu) mutations have been found in some KHE. Invasion of bone, retroperitoneum, and mediastinum has occured in some cases but no case of metastasis has been reported yet. Diagnostic work up may include blood tests, biopsy, contrast enhanced ultrasound and MRI or CT scan imaging. Treatment Options include steroid, vincristine, interferon alpha, anti-platelet agents, sirolimus-containing therapies and surgery.
