title: Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia associated with metastatic carcinoma of the colon.
abstract: We have reported a case of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and metastatic carcinoma of the colon in a 38-year-old woman. Despite the mucin content and the high incidence of carcinoma of the colon in western populations, there are only four cases of colon cancer among the 77 reported cases of malignancy-associated MHA.
