Résumé

It has been reported that patients with bladder cancer have widely
varying paraneoplastic consequences, including metabolic, dermatologic,
myopathic and neurologic disturbances. We report a case of a
52-year-old man with advanced transitional cell carcinoma and liver
metastases, who developed a severe coagulopathy following robotic
radical cystoprostatectomy due to circulating heparin-like substances
prior to onset of liver failure. Heparin-like anticoagulant production is
a rare paraneoplastic effect documented in concert with transitional
cell carcinoma, breast carcinoma and hematological malignancies.
