Abstract
We present a rare case of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) as the initial manifestation of metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. DIC is a life-threatening condition characterized by systemic activation of coagulation and widespread microvascular thrombosis, leading to organ dysfunction. Although DIC is commonly associated with hematological malignancies and sepsis, its occurrence as a paraneoplastic syndrome in solid tumors is extremely rare. Our case highlights the importance of considering DIC as a potential complication in patients with advanced prostate cancer, even in the absence of typical symptoms.
