Tromboembolismo neoplásico em cão portador de carcinoma diagnosticado post-mortem - relato de caso

Abstract

Neoplasms are important causes of hematological disorders and neoplastic thromboembolisms in dogs. Among the causes of these disorders, the action of neoplastic cells on blood vessels, platelet changes, hypercoagulability and disseminated intravascular coagulation can be cited. Malignant epithelial neoplasms, also called carcinomas, are cited among the main neoplasms that cause coagulation disorders and thromboembolisms, which are of high metastatic power. With this work, we intend to discuss the hematological and metastatic alterations caused by malignant epithelial neoplasia, leading to the formation of neoplastic thrombi, and to report the case of a canine patient diagnosed with post-mortem carcinoma of undefined primary site.
