摘要
A patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei underwent Hyperthermal Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Mitomycin C after which she developed thrombotic microangiopathy. This syndrome mimicked possi-ble surgical complications. Treatment with plasma exchange resolved the syndrome and the patient recov-ered completely. This is the first description of thrombotic microangiopathy early after a single dose intrap-eritoneal Mitomycin C.
