Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is characterized by the occurrence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) usually caused by benign angiomatous tumours, Here we report the case of a 70-year-old man in whom DIC revealed a locally advanced hepatic tumour. Although DIC resolved with heparin, antithrombin ill, fresh frozen plasma and corticosteroids, the patient died from haemoperitoneum following a fall, 3 months after the initial observation, Histopathological examination by autopsy allowed the diagnosis of hepatic angiosarcoma. The physiopathogenic mechanisms and treatment options are discussed. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 13:731-734 (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
