Resumen

ARMAS PEREZ, Bárbaro Agustín et al. Malignant pleural mesothelioma with thrombotic and hemorrhagic phenomena. AMC [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.2, pp. 129-134. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: the frequency of thrombotic and hemorrhagic phenomena in malignant pleural mesothelioma. The presentation´s purpose is to deepen the causes and its relation to asbesto. Objective: to know the causes of these phenomena in this malignant disease. Development: a brief analysis of the last four treated and diagnosed cases which had the same complications is performed. Hypercoagulability of blood, Virchow´s triad and paraneoplastic manifestations in malignant tumors or Trousseau´s syndrome are mentioned. It is pointed out that the three main causes established are thrombocytosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation with the consumption of coagulation factors and platelets, and the endothelial cells of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 release. In addition, asbesto is not always related to malignant pleural mesothelioma. Conclusions: it is insisted on the causes for understanding the origin of these complications like thrombocytosis, DIC, and vasoconstrictor endothelin-1. It is considered that this subject has not been tackled enough in national medical literature.
