Case Report: Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma in a 6-Month-Old Infant

A single case report of superficial kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) without Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon in a 6-month-old male infant. The report, authored by Yeli Chen and published on figshare in 2026, details clinical manifestations, magnetic resonance imaging features, histopathological examination, immunohistochemical results, and treatment outcomes. It includes a review of relevant literature for this rare vascular tumor subtype.

Use Cases

• Review diagnostic criteria for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma based on the detailed case description
• Analyze imaging features for vascular tumors based on the reported MRI findings (T1 hypointensity, T2 hyperintensity)
• Study treatment protocols for KHE based on the described intralesional pingyangmycin and combined sirolimus/prednisone therapy
• Compare histopathological characteristics based on the described proliferating spindle-shaped endothelial cells in a glomeruloid pattern
• Evaluate immunohistochemical markers for differential diagnosis based on the reported CD31/CD34 positivity and GLUT1/D2-40 negativity

Strengths

• Provides a detailed, multidisciplinary case report including clinical, imaging, histopathological, and treatment data
• Includes specific immunohistochemical results (CD31+, CD34+, GLUT1-, D2-40-) that aid in differential diagnosis
• Reports a 3-month follow-up observation showing lesion regression

Limitations

• Dataset scale is limited to a single case report (740.3 KB PDF)
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting structured analysis
• Data may reflect the specific bias of a single patient case
