Abstract: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma(KHE) without Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon is a rare tumor primarily observed in pediatric patients; however, its documentation in the literature remains limited. We reported about a 1-year-old boy diagnosed with superficial KHE who received oral propranolol in combination with topical sirolimus and reviewed relevant reports and treatment of superficial KHE.
