Intra-abdominal multi-organ involvement of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma in a child with Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon and contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings: a case report
After the failure of multiple therapeutic interventions, the patient successfully underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy. This case underscores that surgical resection should be considered for KHE when it is feasible and safe. Furthermore, recognizing the distinctive CEUS features of pancreatic KHE is crucial for accurate diagnosis and avoiding diagnostic pitfalls.
