Recently, Frick4reported four cases of carcinoma—two of the stomach, one of the pancreas and one of the prostate—in which hemorrhagic tendencies involved deficiencies of fibrinogen, prothrombin, labile prothrombin conversion factor, and antihemophilic globulin. It is the purpose of this paper to report a case of carcinoma of the stomach complicated by deficiencies of...Bibliography1. Fleischhacker H: Über die Herkunft der Plasmaeiweis Körper, Wien.
