Abstract

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a well known complication of malignancies especially of mucin-secreting cancers. However, it rarely occurs as the first clinical manifestation of a neoplasm. We report the case of a subacute disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome revealing a metastatic breast carcinoma.
