説明
<jats:sec> <jats:title/> <jats:p>We present a case of a giant hepatic hemangioma with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, which was cured by living donor liver transplantation. A 48-year-old woman complained of abdominal fullness and appetite loss. The laboratory data showed disseminated intravascular coagulation and a morphologic evaluation revealed a giant hepatic hemangioma involving both lobes of the liver. Living donor liver transplantation was indicated for Kasabach-Merritt syndrome and an unresectable liver tumor. A posterior segment graft was used because the remnant liver volume of the donor might have been too small to sustain the liver function of the donor. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the recipient was discharged from hospital on day 15 after the transplantation without complications.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
