Abstract
Anemia is common in patients with disseminated carcinoma and is usually due to bleeding, infection, or marrow suppression from chemotherapy or metasta tic infiltration. However, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia is rarely seen in such patients. We report a case in which microangiopathic hemolytic ane mia was the initial finding in lung adenocarcinoma.
