Abstract
Here we report a patient with stage-4 bilateral cystic adrenal neuroblastomas with disseminated liver metastases and consumption coagulopathy who underwent liver transplant. Our patient was initially diagnosed with infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma and bleeding into the adrenal glands secondary to consumption coagulopathy (Kasabach-Merritt syndrome). Liver transplant was performed as a life-saving procedure under this diagnosis. We discuss this unique patient because of the diagnostic pitfalls of this rare disease and the successful clinical outcome after LT and subsequent chemotherapy for neuroblastoma.Entities:
