Abstract
Bone marrow infiltration by a solid tumor is an uncommon event. We report about a female patient presenting with shortness of breath und abnormalities of blood counts. A bone marrow aspiration showed the infiltration due to adeno carcinoma. The detection of the primary was not successful. Our patient died within 6 days due to disseminated intravascular coagulation.
