RESUMEN
El hemangioendotelioma kaposiforme es un tumor vascular agresivo y raro que ocurre predominantemente en la infancia. Suele tener localización cutánea o retroperitoneal. Frecuentemente se asocia con el fenómeno de Kasabach-Merritt y ocasionalmente con linfangiomatosis. Las lesiones cutáneas deben ser diferenciadas clínicamente del hemangioma de la infancia, de los hemangiomas congénitos (RICH y NICH) y de otros tumores vasculares. Describimos un caso de hemangioendotelioma kaposiforme cutáneo en una niña de 10 años.
ABSTRACT
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare aggressive vascular tumor that predominantly occurs at infancy and early childhood. It usually presents cutaneous or retroperitoneal location. It is frequently associated with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon and occasionally with lymphangiomatosis. Cutaneous lesions must be clinically differentiated from infantile hemangiomas, congenital hemangiomas (RICH and NICH) and other vascular tumors. We present a case of cutaneous kaposiform hemangioendothelioma in a 10-year-old girl.
