Abstract
-
An antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a thrombotic disorder characterized by arterial or venous thrombosis with the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs). APS may be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, various hematologic diseases or neoplastic disorders. We describe a patient with APS, associated with adenocarcinoma, who had developed recurrent arterial/venous thrombosis that did not respond to anticoagulation treatment.
