Verrucous venous malformations (VVM) are rare, congenital, slow‐flow vascular anomalies that have been historically difficult to characterize due to clinical mimics and unclear histological evaluation. A life‐threatening complication of VVMs is localized intravascular coagulation. Herein, we describe a male neonate who presented with a congenital VVM on the left lower extremity with associated severe thrombocytopenia. We discuss the multifaceted diagnostic approach used to identify this VVM, while highlighting the use of WT‐1 as a negative predictive marker; we additionally outline novel treatment options and management beyond cutaneous involvement.
