Eating habits and knowledge in adolescents Blue finger syndrome as a paraneoplasic manifestation: case report [Version 2; Peer Review-Approved]

Abstract:

It is currently known that cancer is a prothrombotic state that alters certain coagulation factors, and due to this presence of malignancy, pro-coagulation factors are secreted that contribute to a state of hypercoagulability that favors metastasis. In addition, there is also evidence of an increased excretion of thrombin, favoring clot formation. We present the clinical case of a 65-year-old man with multiple diseases, who presented with a neurological condition manifested by left facial paralysis, deviation of the labial commissure to the left, in addition to presenting horizontal nystagmus and gait disorders. Physical examination revealed a bluish coloration at the level of the fingers of the right lower extremity, with suspicion of vasculitis in the first instance. After several studies, a diagnosis of prostate cancer was made, bilateral orchiectomy was performed and the following treatments were sent: oncologic, antihypertensive, antidiabetic and oral anticoagulation.
