Kasabach Merritt syndrome, first recognized in 1940, is characterized by haemangiomatosis, thrombocytopenia and intravascular coagulation. It is most often seen in children, rarely in adults. The mortality rate is 20-30%. Treatment is by removing the haemangiomatosis and correcting the consumptive coagulopathy. The purpose of this paper is to present a patient with Kasabach Merritt syndrome with haemangiomatosis in the spleen and the liver. A review of the relevant literature is given.
