abstract={We report a case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) which was explored to be the clinical presentation of carcinoma. Plasma exchange therapy failed to respond for the patient, so bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were performed to find out the reason of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Bone marrow examination revealed non hematopoetic cell infiltration and myelonecrosis. Carcinoma metastasis was demonstrated at bone marrow trephine biopsy. The primary tumor was found at small bowel after scanning for the source of tumor by computerized tomography.},
