Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare tumor that occurs nearly exclusively during infancy and childhood. It has features common to both capillary hemangioma and Kaposi sarcoma and for that reason many terms have been used for these tumors including "Kaposi-like infantile hemangioendothelioma" and "hemangioma with Kaposi sarcoma-like features." KHE typically presents as an ill-defined, red to purple, indurated plaque and is often complicated by the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP), a condition of severe thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. Knowledge of the radiological findings of this uncommon tumor might be helpful for diagnosis. We present the MRI features of a case of KHE with neither typical skin lesions nor the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon.
