title: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma in the uterine cervix of a 5-year girl.
abstract: The occurrence of the vascular tumors in the female genital tract, particularly in the uterine cervix, is extremely rare. This kind of tumor has mainly been reported as either cavernous hemangiomas or capillary hemangiomas. To date, no Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma has been reported in this site. Here we presented a case of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma without Kasabach-Merritt syndrome in the cervix of a 5-year-old girl.
