ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) requires the presence of a fibrin-related marker. D-dimer is frequently used in clinical practice as a fibrin-related marker. We present a case of paraneoplastic DIC with a false-negative D-dimer test. Repeating the test using a different D-dimer assay as well as the measurement of other fibrinolysis markers confirmed the diagnosis of DIC.
