| Abstract: | We present two children with massive bleeding into the serous body cavities accompanied by intractable consumption coagulopathy. One had a large spleen palpable at admission, the other developed progressive splenomegaly while in hospital. Neither child had any external evidence of angiomatous lesions. A splenic hemangioma was suspected clinically and on abdominal ultrasound; the diagnosis was confirmed at laparotomy. Splenectomy resulted in a prompt cure in both cases. |
