Abstract
We report the second case of an acquired heparin-like anticoagulant in a patient with disseminated breast carcinoma. All but one of the smal l numbers of other cases have also been associated with an underlying malignancy. We comment on the distinction between an immunoglobulin an d proteoglycan causing the antithrombin effect and suggest points of i nterest for consideration in any future cases together with a review o f treatment options.
