Hormonal therapy has been the treatment axis of metastatic prostate cancer since 1940. Identifying rare forms of debut is important in order to initiate the best treatment as soon as possible. Intravascular disseminated coagulopathy (DIC) related to prostate cancer is mostly presented as chronic forms. Acute forms can also be the way of presentation, recognizing them is crucial due to its life threatening nature. Here, we present a case of debut of metastatic prostate cancer as an acute DIC. Reporting this case is important because of the unfrequently presentation and to consider combined chemohormonal therapy since the diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
