Prostate cancer with disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow: Two case reports.
Disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow (DCBM) is caused by cancer metastasis to the bone marrow and is often accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), with rapid clinical progression. We herein report two cases receiving treatment with combined androgen blockade (CAB) and denosumab for prostate cancer with DCBM. The patient in case 1 was an 80-year-old man who was adm...
متن کاملVery Fast Recovery of Acute Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation with Abiraterone Acetate in a Patient with Bone Metastases from Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a rare, potentially life-threatening complication of advanced prostate carcinoma. We report the successful treatment with abiraterone acetate of acute DIC related to a progressive bone metastatic disease in a chemotherapy-naïve patient with castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
متن کاملTranexamic Acid to Treat Life-threatening Hemorrhage in Prostate Cancer Associated Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation with Excessive Fibrinolysis
This case illustrates the acute onset of life-threatening bleeding in a 57-year-old male with treatment-resistant metastatic prostate cancer. Laboratory results confirmed the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Despite aggressive transfusion support, his consumptive coagulopathy and persistent bleeding could not be controlled, and his need for blood products began to outpa...
متن کاملAcute renal failure as the presenting sign of disseminated intravascular coagulation in a patient with metastatic prostate cancer
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is the most frequent coagulation disorder in patients with prostate cancer. However, renal involvement in DIC associated with prostate cancer has rarely been documented. Herein, we present a case of metastatic prostate cancer presenting with acute renal failure (RF) triggered by DIC. An 80 year old man with metastatic prostate cancer was treated with...
متن کاملSearch for a cause of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy resulted in finding metastatic prostate cancer
Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) is an acquired disease that occurs secondary to a variety of underlying conditions including solid tumors. Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of these tumors and DIC is the most prevalent coagulopathy related to PCa, but it is rarely reported as the first manifestation of it. This paper is a report of an 85-year-old man who presented with hematuria and va...
