[MICROANGIOPATHIC HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA AS PRESENTING SYMPTOM OF GASTRIC ADENOCARCINOMA].
Harefuah 2016 April
Metastatic adenocarcinoma presenting as microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is a rare finding. We report the case of a young patient who presented with MAHA as the initial symptom of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma. Cancer-related microangiopathic hemolytic anemia is a paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by Coombs-negative hemolytic anemia with schistocytes and thrombocytopenia. A high index of suspicion and prompt diagnosis can prevent ulterior deterioration, especially when chemotherapy is the optimal treatment in these cases, which can stop the hemolysis.
