Department of Haematology, Royal Lancaster Infirmary, UK.
This case report describes the simultaneous occurrence of autoimmune thrombocytopenia and the lupus anticoagulant in a patient with primary adenocarcinoma of the bronchus. Treatment with corticosteroids and plasmapheresis resulted in a return to normal of the partial thromboplastin time and the disappearance of the platelet antibodies. The carcinoma was inoperable.
