“…Radiotherapy was the treatment used in the original report 40 years ago by Kasabach and Merritt.' It has been used, sometimes in conjunction with steroid treatment, on several subsequent occasions,5 6 and is successful in about two thirds of cases. The disadvantages of radiotherapy include local failure of growth; destruction of cartilage, bone, and teeth; and possible late malignancy.…”

A giant cavernous hemangioma of the left arm with severe thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy was observed in a neonate. Initial treatment with prednisone, platelet transfusions, and clotting replacement failed to control the bleedings. The child was then treated with daily subcutaneous infusions of interferon alpha‐2a. Coagulopathy rapidly improved and transfusions were drastically reduced. The hemangioma regressed progressively and disappeared after 4 months of treatment. Med. Pediatr. Oncol. 28:213–215 © 1997 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

A surgically nonresectable mesenteric hemangioendothelioma was diagnosed at exploratory laparotomy in a 7‐month‐old female. Thrombocytopenia and red cell microangiopathic changes were present. Arteriography was employed to delineate the extent of the tumor mass prior to therapy with irradiation and prednisone. The tumor's resolution was confirmed by follow‐up arteriographic studies and was accompanied by reversal of the hematologic abnormalities.
