Abstract:
We report the case of a 56-yr-old woman with adenocarcinoma of unknown origin metastatic to the bone marrow presenting with a thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-like syndrome refractory to protracted daily plasmapheresis and steroids but readily and completely responsive to docetaxel plus cisplatin. Sustained and complete response was pathologically confirmed.
