A 66-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with lumbago. On admission, laboratory examination revealed hemolytic anemia. Direct Coombs' test was positive, and also direct monospecific-Coombs' test by anti-C3d serum was positive. Immunoelectrophoresis showed IgA-lambda type M proteins in serum. Bone marrow aspiration disclosed increased atypical plasma cells. X-ray of skull showed punched-out lesion. From these findings, she was diagnosed as IgA (lambda) myeloma complicating with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Hemolysis was improved by chemotherapy. It was thought that IgA and C3 were related well to hemolysis in this case.

A case of advanced gastric cancer associated with metastatic carcinomatosis of the bone marrow, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was reported. A 71-year-old woman complained of lumbago and general fatigue. At the time of admission, besides anemia, jaundice and a tendency to bleeding, the laboratory data showed, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated FDP and hemolytic anemia with fragmented red cells. The bone marrow was infiltrated by carcinoma, and an upper GI series examination showed Borrmann II type gastric cancer on the greater curvature of the antrum. After remission of both MAHA and DIC by mitomycin C, neothramycin and FOY, the patient successfully underwent subtotal gastrectomy. However, she died of cerebral hemorrhage on the 96th postoperative day.
