A 16 day-old boy of buccal hemangioma with Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome was treated with radiotherapy and steroids. Two episodes of serious hemorrhage due to consumption coagulopathy were seen 3 to 4 weeks after the radiotherapy. It is considered crucial, therefore, that the tumor size, thrombocyte and fibrinogen counts must be closely monitored during four weeks following radiotherapy. Also, radiotherapy should be repeated immediately when the hemangioma increases in size again. This patient is now six years old with no evidence of abnormalities of the bone or soften tissues in the irradiated area. Long-term follow up for many years is necessary, to assure the development of radiation-induced cancer.
