Trousseau syndrome commonly occurs in patients with lung or prostate cancer. Hypercoagulability is thought to be initiated by mucins produced by the adenocarcinoma, which react with leukocyte and platelet selectins to form platelet-rich microthrombi. This is the first report of Trousseau syndrome in a patient with oral cancer. SN - 1752-1947 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s13256-018-1833-6 DO - 10.1186/s13256-018-1833-6 ID - Aoyama2019 ER -
