The authors describe a 3 1/2 month old infant with hemangio-endothelioma and a severe blood coagulation disorder. The tumor was inoperable and the severe blood coagulation disorder posed considerable therapeutic problem. After treatment with massive amounts of blood clotting factors, an antifibrinolytic drug and radiotherapy, the child's condition improved.
