Severe thrombocytopenia and anemia as an initial presentation of breast cancer: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Breast cancer patients with bone marrow metastasis (BMM) having profound thrombocytopenia and anemia are rare and there is no definitive treatment guideline. We present a case of successful initial treatment with anti‐disseminated intravascular coagulation therapy and endocrine therapy, followed by chemotherapy to avoid deterioration of severe thrombocytopenia and anemia.
