Abstract

We currently know that cancer is a prothrombotic condition altered by certain coagulation factors. Due to this malignity, pro-coagulation factors contribute to a metastasis-favoring hypercoagulability condition are secreted. Besides, there is evidence of a higher excretion of thrombin, favoring the formation of coagula. Here the clinical case of a 65-year-old man with multiple diseases is presented. He went to the doctor because of neurological manifestations consisting in left facial paralysis, and deviation of the commissure of the lips towards the left. In addition, the patient had horizontal nystagmus and disorders when walking. The physical examination showed a bluish coloration at the level of his fingers on his lower right limb, with suspicion of first instance vasculitis. After several tests, the patient was diagnosed as suffering from prostate cancer, bilateral orchiectomy was performed on him, and the following treatments were recommended: oncologic, antihypertensive, antidiabetic and oral anticoagulation.
