Abstract

A patient with a cutaneous angioma developed an intravascular coagulation syndrome with a eosinophilic leukocytosis and multiple arterial and venous thromboses affecting the vital prognosis. The possible role of the eosinophilia in the mechanism of complications is discussed. Local modifications in the angioma are suggestive signs preceding the onset of general thrombotic complications, their severity contrasting with the simplicity of the secondary surgical excision of the angioma.
