Abstrakt: The role of the hematologist in the management of vascular anomalies is evolving. Several vascular tumors and malformations are associated with complex coagulation derangements. Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma or tufted angiomas may present with a consumptive coagulopathy known as the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP). The management of KMP is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality from this condition. Slow-flow vascular malformations (SFVM) are also frequently complicated by a coagulopathy requiring anticoagulation, especially during and after surgical procedures, and some of these conditions pose a high risk of venous thromboembolism. Pain in SFVM is also frequently responsive to anticoagulation as well. It is essential for a hematologist with expertise in vascular anomalies to assist in the management of these complex conditions as part of a multidisciplinary team to reduce morbidity and mortality. Through case-based discussions, we attempt to highlight the critical role of the hematologist in managing these anomalies.
