[Metastatic breast cancer with involvement of the bone marrow, uterus and ovaries. A case report on diagnostic and therapeutic procedures].
The article reports on a clinically unusual case of a patient with carcinoma of the breast. The "initial sign" of the disease was relapsed hypermenorrhoic permanent bleeding with severe bleeding anaemia caused by a metastatic growth in the uterus. Surgery or cytostatic treatment did not seem possible at the outset, because thrombocytopenia (21,000/nl) progressed rapidly, associated with disseminated bone marrow metastases. The diagnostic and therapeutic procedure is described and discussed.
