| Popis: | During four courses of chemotherapy for a disseminated testicular seminoma a 30-year-old man developed three arterial occlusive events and one silent myocardial infarction. The events occurred approximately 10 days after the start of each chemotherapy course. During chemotherapy suggested pathogenetic factors were monitored without observing any significant abnormality. After completion of chemotherapy the patient remained in a complete remission and free of new thromboembolic events. A review of possible pathogenetic factors is given. |
