[A 65-year-old female patient with breast cancer accompanied by thrombocytopenia and hyperfibrinolysis].
Tumor diseases can be accompanied by paraneoplastic syndromes. Low platelet counts and hyperfibrinolysis led to the diagnosis of recurrent breast cancer in this case. A tumour disease with disturbed hemostasis caused by both plasmatic coagulation and thrombocytopenia has not yet been reported.
