Hemostasis/Thrombosis Considerations in Vascular Anomalies

A Case of Multifocal Lymphangioendotheliomatosis With Thrombocytopenia and Changes in Coagulopathy

“…P ediatric vascular anomalies consist of heterogenous groups and conditions, with abnormally developed and misshaped capillaries, veins, or lymphatic vessels, and are accompanied by coagulopathy. 1 Typical conditions are Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) and localized intravascular coagulopathy. Some vascular anomalies, such as kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) and multifocal lymphangioendotheliomatosis with thrombocytopenia (MLT)/cutaneovisceral angiomatosis with thrombocytopenia, are also associated with the platelet count and coagulation disorders.…”
