Since the first description of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) in 1940, many treatments have been proposed combining pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches, which can be effective on the pathology but can have adverse and unpredictable side-effects with long-term use. Herein we describe the solely surgical treatment of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome in a neonate with a severe and rapidly progressive thrombocytopenia. The patient's condition normalized at 7 days postoperatively, with rapid increase in platelet count and normalization of D-dimer concentration.
