Giant liver hemangioma induce the Kasabach Merritt syndome, a life threathening coagulation disorder which occur due to consumptive coagulopathy: trombocyte sequestration and agregation inside the hemangioma. The mortality rate is around 60%, with the most common cause is multiorgan complication which may end up with sepsis. The core management is hemangioma decompression by surgical measure.
