Abstract
We report on a woman in whom pulmonary embolism and positive lupus anticoagulant occurred 9 months before the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. To our knowledge this association has been described previously with other malignant neoplasms but not with a renal tumor, and it may represent an autoimmune paraneoplastic event.
