ABSTRACT

Sirolimus is reportedly effective for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. However, data on the efficacy of low-dose sirolimus therapy remain limited. This report presents two cases of neonatal and infantile kaposiform hemangioendothelioma associated with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon successfully treated with low-dose sirolimus (serum level: 2-6 ng/mL) without any adverse events.
