Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor of childhood that is locally aggressive but has little metastatic potential and by itself is not known to be lethal. It most commonly presents as a superficial or deep soft tissue mass with associated cutaneous lesions. Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon, a condition characterized by profound thrombocytopenia and life-threatening hemorrhage, often is associated with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. Six cases of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma have been reported in bone, two of which were located in extracraniofacial bones. We report a diagnostically challenging case of a 6-year-old girl with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma of the thoracolumbar spine without Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon or cutaneous lesions.
