Hepatic and cardiac necrosis in a patient with prostatic carcinoma given 6-aminocaproic acid.
The pathological findings in a case of prostatic carcinoma with fibrinolysin, treated with epsilon-aminocaproic acid, included hepatic and cardiac necrosis. The possibility is discussed that the latter lesions may be a complication of epsilon-aminocaproic acid therapy or produced by the proteolytic action of the fibrinolysin.
