Clinical Review: Management of Adult Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome Associated with Hemangiomas

Master S, Kallam D, El-Osta H, Peddi P

Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) consists of a clinical trial of capillary hemangioma, thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. KMS occurs most commonly in the pediatric population, and its occurrence in adults is rare. Specific guidelines or randomized clinical trials guiding clinical management of KMS in adult patient are lacking. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of KMS and discusses recent advances in the medical management of KMS. We also propose a systematic therapeutic approach which would serve as a guide in the management of adult patients with KMS caused by hemangiomas.
