Abstract

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare, locally aggressive vascular tumor that does not metastasize. We report two unique cases of KHE involving the right hemithorax and the upper ipsilateral extremity. Kasabach–Merrit phenomenon and osteolytic lesions in the scapula were observed in both cases.
