- Abstract
- In 1865, Armand Trousseau recognized the first relationship between a neoplastic disease and a thromboembolic disorder. Since then, many cases have been reported and have been termed as Trousseau's syndrome. One mechanism of hypercoagulability was considered to be the activation of coagulation systems by a tissue factor secreted by neoplastic cells, but accurate pathophysiology still remains unknown. We report a case of a multiple and recurrent thromboembolism in a patient with adenocarcinoma of the lung. A woman aged 68 years with an acute thromboembolism at her right distal calf artery was diagnosed as having adenocarcinoma of the lung.
She underwent a thromboembolectomy two times, but had to receive surgery for a below knee amputation. Multiple and recurrent thromboembolic events then attacked her cerebral and coronary arteries, which led to cerebral and myocardial infarctions. She expired by a progression of the adenocarcinoma of the lung after about six months.(Korean J Med 72:673-678, 2007)
