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.
