Popis: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) typically presents with consumptive thrombocytopenia, non-immune intravascular hemolytic anemia, renal failure, various neurologic findings and fever. It is a clinical syndrome that can be associated with drugs such as ticlopidine, quinine, mitomycin C and cyclosporine, allogeneic stem cell transplantation, pregnancy, infections, autoimmune diseases and metastatic carcinoma. Here, we describe a 48-years- old women presented with full picture of TTP and diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma with further evaluation. She was successfully treated with multiple exchange transfusions and total excision of leiomyoma thereafter. As far as we know, this is the first case of leiomyosarcoma of the uterus presented with TTP. Therefore, the women with TTP, in whom no other cause can be found, should undergo a careful gynecological examination and pelvic ultrasonography should be performed.Trombotik trombositopenik purpura (TTP), tüketim trombositopenisi, immün olmayan intravasküler hemolitik anemi, böbrek yetmezliği, çeşitli nörolojik bulgular ve ateş ile gelir. Bu klinik sendrom tiklopidin, kinin, mitomisin C, siklosporin gibi ilaçlar, allojeneik kök hücre nakli, gebelik, infeksiyon, otoimmün hastalıklar ve metastatik kanserlere eşlik edebilir. Bu yazıda TTP tablosu ile başvuran ve ileri incelemede leomiyosarkom tanısı konan 48 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmaktadır. Hasta multipl exchange transfüzyon ve bunu takip eden leomiyom çıkartılması ile başarıyla tedavi edilmiştir. Bu olgu bilgimiz dahilinde leomiyosarkom ile seyreden ilk TTP olgusudur. TTP`li kadın olgularda dikkatli jinekolojik muayene yapılması ve pelvik ultrasonografi çekilmesi yararlı olabilir.
