Infarcts on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery
(Panel A) are hyperintense on diffusion-weighted
images (Panel B) and hypointense on
apparent-diffusion-coefficient images (Panel C)
suggesting they are acute.

Focal lesions (solid arrows). Geographic low
attenuation (open arrow) suggests abnormal
perfusion. Wedge-shaped infarct (arrowhead).

Diagnoses
Phlegmasia alba dolens (painful white
inflammation) caused by venous thrombosis as a
manifestation of a hypercoagulable paraneoplastic
syndrome (Trousseau syndrome) Nonbacterial
thrombotic endocarditis and multiple ischemic
strokes associated with an underlying cancer
(also a component of Trousseau syndrome)
12
Trousseau(s) Syndrome
Armand Trousseau (1801-1867) 1865, lecture 95
described phlegmasia alba dolens as a
presenting symptom of occult cancer 1867,
January 1, Trousseau developed phlegmasia alba
dolens of his left leg and correctly predicted
the diagnosis of his own stomach cancer, which
soon killed him.

Trousseau Syndrome
What do tumors (mainly adenocarcinomas) express
to promote thrombosis? Tissue factor? Platelet
agonists? Prothrombotic proteases? Prothrombotic
mucins? Why is heparin effective and warfarin
ineffective? Might heparin function not as an
anticoagulant?

Mucins are large and retain calcium-dependent
binding sites for all three selectins. (a) A 4

collagen Pyrogenicity No IL-6 released on 20 h
incubation with mouse MNCs (a very sensitive test
for endotoxin)

27
Thrombosis is Independent of Thrombin
Immunofluorescence of microthrombi in wild-type
mice injected with mucin (with or without
hirudin) to demonstrate fibrin, an indicator of
thrombin activity. Bright green indicates fibrin
pale green indicates autofluorescence of luminal
surface of venule red indicates platelets blue
indicates nuclei.
28
Microangiopathic Features in Tumor-Bearing Mice
Anemia, reticulocytosis, shistocytosis, hemolysis
(increased LDH and bilirubin), and circulating
platelet aggregates
29
Role of Leukocyte L-Selectin
Flow-cytometric quantification of platelet
activation based on P-selectin expression in
stirred, hirudin-anticoagulated whole blood.
Black bars, wild-type mouse blood gray bars,
L-sel/ mouse blood. Values represent the mean
SEM (n 3) P 0.007 relative to PBS-treated
controls P 0.003 relative to mucin-treated
wild-type blood.

Model for Mucin and Selectin-Mediated Thrombosis
L indicates L-selectin (L-sel) ligands on mucins.
P indicates P-selectin (P-sel) ligands,
including mucins and leukocyte PSGL-1.

Questions
What do leukocytes do to expose platelet
P-selectin? Signal transduction
pathway Mediators Any synergy with other
mechanisms for platelet activation, blood
coagulation? Physiological relevance to
thrombosis in human cancers?
32
Mucins and Cancer
Many adenocarcinomas upregulate MUC1, MUC2,
MUC5AC, MUC4, MUC16 These mucins often bear
Sialyl-Lex structures CA125 MUC16 CEA is a
mucin, levels of 4.6 µg/ml in patients with colon
and rectal cancer CA 19-9 detects Sialyl-Lex on
mucins, present at up to 100 µg/ml in pancreatic
cancers. Q Correlation between mucin/marker
level and Trousseau syndrome? A Not yet
33
Relevance to Medical Practice?
Heparin (LMWH) should be considered for
thrombosis in patients with adenocarcinoma, and
especially for recurrent thrombosis. The
relationship between Trousseau syndrome and
circulating mucins could be addressed. Additional
targets for intervention could include
leukocyte-platelet signaling pathways binding
sites on selectins Mucin-selectin interactions
suggest another mechanism for thrombotic
microangiopathy
