Congenital hemangiomas with transient neonatal thrombocytopenia: case reports and review of the literature

Congenital hemangioma with thrombocytopenia is rare and is often mistaken for Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon seen in kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. We present three neonatal cases with severe but transient thrombocytopenia that resolved without intervention. Accurate diagnosis, cardiac evaluation, and cautious management are essential, as most patients recover spontaneously, avoiding unnecessary interventions.
