Case Report
Recognizing the rare presentation of metastatic angiosarcoma with Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome is crucial for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Alerts clinicians to this rare association in one case; leaves open whether recognition protocols improve angiosarcoma outcomes.
Angiosarcomas are exceedingly rare tumors that are often difficult to diagnose. Exceptionally unusual is the presentation of these tumors with Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome, a curious form of intratumoral coagulation that can be impossible to distinguish from intravascular coagulation, which is more common. Instant recognition of this clinical association can help making a prompt diagnosis and timely initiation of therapy.
