Coexistence of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and capillary malformation: More than a coincidence? Two case reports

Abstract

The coexistence of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and capillary malformation (CM) is quite rare, and few relevant studies can be found to confirm whether this phenomenon is accidental. We diagnosed and treated two such patients, revealing interesting phenomena associated with the development of vascular diseases.These cases offer the possibility that the coexistence of KHE and CM is not accidental and open up a new field of research related to pediatric vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Personalization and precision are required in the diagnosis and treatment of such patients, and the present findings provide a reliable theoretical and practical basis for further research on the pathogenesis and therapy of patients with multiple vascular diseases.
