Abstract

We report on a case of multiple bone metastasis and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIG) in a 49-year-old Japanese man. He underwent total gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer in July 1992, He was diagnosed as a case of multiple bone metastasis in August 1993. Severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated fibrinogen degradative products were indicative of DIG. He was treated with sequential i.v. administration of methotrexate (MTX) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and continuous i.v. infusion of heparin and gabexate mesilate. After two weeks of treatment with MTX combined with 5-FU, the findings of DIC disappeared and his general condition improved dramatically.
