Hypothesis-generating case links VEGF/TF coexpression to PTTM; does not support practice change and requires validation.
Case Report (n=1)
The coexpression of VEGF and TF in gastric carcinoma cells suggests these factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy.
Chinen et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) (n=1). Gastric carcinoma expressing VEGF and TF was evaluated on Autopsy findings. Autopsy of a 62-year-old man with gastric adenocarcinoma who died of sudden cardiopulmonary arrest revealed pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy with tumor cells coexpressing VEGF and TF.
