Pedal gangrene secondary to disseminated intravascular coagulation with gastric carcinoma

Liza Gragasin-Saviano et al. J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 2002 Mar.

Abstract

Consumptive coagulopathy resulting in a disseminated intravascular coagulation is most often seen in infectious diseases and hematologic malignancies. Solid tumors may be associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation that results in gangrene of the upper extremity. A case report of lower-extremity gangrene as the pathology for gastric carcinoma is presented. The need for a multidisciplinary approach to this clinical presentation is noted.
