This article presents a case study of a neonate with a rare vascular tumor called a rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH). The patient developed a condition called Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon, which caused severe thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. The case highlights the challenges in managing such cases and suggests that tumor size may correlate with thrombocytopenia. The study emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary team in making treatment decisions and the potential complications of large RICHs. The research was supported by the Italian Ministry of Health and the authors have no conflicts of interest. [Extracted from the article]
