| Abstract: | We report a rare case of a patient who died suddenly, in whom bilateral pulmonary artery thrombosis with multiple myeloma was found at autopsy. An estimate of the incidence of pulmonary embolism in myeloma patients based on postmortem examinations is about 3.2%. Hypercoagulability and decreased fibrinolytic capacity due to multiple myeloma were the probable causes of multiple thromboses. |
| Keywords: | pulmonary embolism multiple myeloma hypercoagulability autopsy |
