Rhabdomyolysis and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Associated with Severe Exercise-induced Hypernatremic Dehydration

Hepatic angiosarcoma associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation.

We present a case of hepatic angiosarcoma that presented with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy to highlight the difficulty in diagnosing this disease due its aggressive clinical course, the overlapping features of various coagulopathies, and the nonspecific appearance of angiosarcomas on imaging.

Quinine-Induced Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

Every drug comes with some side effect. It is the benefit/risk ratio that determines the medical use of the drug. Quinine, a known antimalarial drug, has been used for nocturnal leg cramps since the 1930s; it is associated with severe life-threatening hematological and cardiovascular side effects. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), albeit rare, is a known coagulopathy associated with...
