THROMBOTIC MICROANGIOPATHY: DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES IN THE PRIMARY MULTIPLE NEOPLASM INVOLVEMENT WITH PREVALENT METASTASIS WITH GRANULOMATOSIS INFLAMMATORY FOCUSES

Abstract

Patient, who died during the hospital stay, had hemoblastosis and syphilis in the reported medical history. While the patient was examined doctors suspected the presence of malignancy with unknown primary localization with multiple metastatic injuries with clinical and laboratory TTP signs (hemorrhagic syndrome, thrombocytopenia, shystocytosis, and non-immune hemolytic anemia). Despite treatment, the general patient’s condition progressively worsens with increasing multiple organ decompensation signs. In the final stage of the disease course, after heart arrest and the appearance of clinical death signs CPR measures were performed according to complete guidance, but CRP had no positive effect. Biological death was constated. Considering the criteria of the diagnostic clinical and laboratory dyad (thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia), the data of the patholog¬ical examination (multiple metastatic lesions, inflammatory process, tumor intoxication, thrombosis), the combination of manifestations of chronic myeloid leukemia, prostate cancer with multiple metastases, tertiary syphilis served as a condition for the initiation of TTP, which was of decisive importance in the development of the patient’s death.
