Systemic thromboembolism after anti-cancer chemotherapy in a woman with ovarian germ cell tumor
Abstract
A high cure
rate of ovarian germ cell tumors was achieved by establishment of a
cisplatin-containing regimen. We encountered a rare case of a
33-year-old, nulligravida Japanese woman with systemic thromboembolism
following anti-cancer chemotherapy with cisplatin, etoposide, and
bleomycin in ovarian germ cell tumor. She suffered from brain
infarction, multiple embolisms in the bilateral pulmonary artery and
pelvic vein, and a broad range of deep vein thromboses in the right
extremities vein. When thrombosis is detected during anti-cancer
chemotherapy, we must investigate whether the presence of thrombosis is
systemic or local.
