A 1-year-old boy presented with pericardial effusion, pulmonary infiltrates, and disseminated intravascular coagulation; lung biopsy indicated pulmonary lymphangiomatosis. He did not respond to medical therapy and was a poor surgical candidate; therefore, he underwent partial splenic embolization. The procedure resulted in a complete disappearance of the DIC and marked improvement in his cardiorespiratory status. He continues to thrive and is transfusion-independent 2 years after the procedure.
