KMS was considered in the patient who had wide spread vascularized giant hemangiomateous mass with thrombocytopenia and consumption coagulopathy. Embolisation operation was made on inner-mass external karotis branches by Interventional Radiology unit and external karotis and its branches feeding the mass were embolized with a ratio of 80% with the operation.
Conclusion: We wanted to share a rare KMS case occurring together with thrombocytopenia and consumption coagulopathy.
