Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma with fatal income: Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon and hypercalcemia

Abstract Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare, borderline tumor that typically occurs during early childhood. Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon is a complication characterized by a consumptive coagulopathy resulting from the localized intravascular coagulation. Hypercalcemia generation is a rare association that was related in our case to parathyroid hormone‐related protein produced by this angioma.
