Case in brief

A pediatric patient with a fibroadipose venous anomaly developed bilateral pulmonary emboli while being treated with sirolimus. The patient had minimal other risk factors for venous thromboembolism. Although a direct link between sirolimus and the emboli cannot be definitively established, the case highlights a potential concern regarding VTE in patients receiving this treatment.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Clinicians should be aware of the potential risk of venous thromboembolism in pediatric patients treated with sirolimus for vascular anomalies, even in the absence of significant risk factors.
