Oxaliplatin-Induced Thrombotic Microangiopathy in a Patient with Stage IV Gallbladder Carcinoma : Primary Association or Multiple Hits?

Copyright © 2020 by S. Karger AG, Basel..

Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) include a variety of vascular disorders characterized by the presence of microthrombi, coagulopathy by platelet activation and consumption, and systemic damage. The most frequent secondary causes are infections and some medications. However, the presence of chemotherapeutic agents is not so common, and the induction of TMA by oxaliplatin is poorly understood, with few published case reports. We present the case of a patient with a history of gallbladder carcinoma, in whom findings compatible with TMA were documented, and with a temporal and sole relation to oxaliplatin.
