Abstract
Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare and life-threatening form of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which could be triggered by malignancy. Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is an uncommon hematologic malignancy. We report a case of a 49-year-old male patient who presented multiple thromboses with a high titre of anti-β2-glycoprotein-I antibody. Unexpectedly, there was persistent monocytosis combined with <20% blasts in his bone marrow. Thus, a diagnosis of probable CAPS and CMML was made. After treatment with prednisone, hydroxychloroquine and warfarin, the thromboses dissolved, and an improved presentation of peripheral blood and bone marrow was observed. Here, we also provide a mini review of cases of APS complicated with CMML identified from searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science databases. The review describes the clinical characteristics, laboratory data, treatments and outcomes.

Abstract
A 37-year-old woman with extranodal marginal-zone lymphoma was admitted with a fever, hemiplegia, and severe dyspnea after chemotherapy. Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) was suspected based on the histopathological confirmation of small-pulmonary vessel occlusion, evidence of the involvement of three organs, and elevated lupus anticoagulant assay results in a short time span. The patient responded to the initial treatment. One month later, the CAPS and lymphoma relapsed, and the patient underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Complete remission of the lymphoma has been successfully maintained, and the condition of the patient has remained stable for two years with no further evidence of thrombosis.

Abstract
Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) is characterized by fulminant thrombosis of the arterial and venous beds of multiple organ systems over a relatively short period of time and with a high mortality rate. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the lung has never been reported as a causative or precipitating factor for CAPS in the CAPS registry database. The present study describes a rare case of pulmonary MALT lymphoma of the lung that presented as CAPS. A 19-year-old Hispanic female presented with shortness of breath and abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest and abdomen revealed multiple portal vein thromboses and bilateral pulmonary nodules. Within one week of presentation, the patient developed a straight sinus thrombosis and upper extremity deep vein thrombosis, which led to shortness of breath. A biopsy of the lung nodule revealed MALT lymphoma. The present case illustrates a rarely reported pulmonary MALT lymphoma presenting as CAPS in a young female. The patient was successfully treated with 90 mg/m2 bendamustine on days one and two and rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day one of each 28-day cycle. Complete remission of the lung nodules was observed following three cycles of treatment, as visualized by positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scan. Fondaparinux was identified as a feasible anticoagulation drug of choice for this case. At seven months post-treatment, the patient continues to be stable with no further evidence of thrombosis and is currently undergoing rituximab maintenance therapy every six months for two years. A repeat lupus anticoagulant antibody assay turned and remained negative during the clinical follow-up period. A prompt diagnosis and early aggressive treatment is potentially curative and may dramatically decrease the mortality risk. Future studies should explore the role of rituximab in the management of CAPS-associated B-cell lymphoid malignancies.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism remains one of the important causes of pulmonary hypertension in children. The causes of venous thromboembolism are varied and include antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). Catastrophic APS (CAPS) is a severe variant of APS characterised by disseminated thrombosis and microangiopathy resulting in multiorgan failure. CAPS can occur independently (primary APS) but mainly occurs in association with systemic lupus erythematosus including the paediatric population. We report a young girl with primary CAPS who presented with pulmonary hypertension and an inferior vena cava mass masquerading as a tumour.

Abstract
Thrombosis is common in ovarian cancer. However, the interaction of platelets with ovarian cancer cells has not been critically examined. To address this, we investigated platelet interactions in a range of ovarian cancer cell lines with different metastatic potentials [HIO-80, 59M, SK-OV-3, A2780, A2780cis]. Platelets adhered to ovarian cancer cells with the most significant adhesion to the 59M cell line. Ovarian cancer cells induced platelet activation [P-selectin expression] in a dose dependent manner, with the most significant activation seen in response to the 59M cell line. The platelet antagonists [cangrelor, MRS2179, and apyrase] inhibited 59M cell induced activation suggesting a P2Y12 and P2Y1 receptor mediated mechanism of platelet activation dependent on the release of ADP by 59M cells. A2780 and 59M cells potentiated PAR-1, PAR-4, and TxA2 receptor mediated platelet activation, but had no effect on ADP, epinephrine, or collagen induced activation. Analysis of gene expression changes in ovarian cancer cells following treatment with washed platelets or platelet releasate showed a subtle but valid upregulation of anti-apoptotic, anti-autophagy pro-angiogenic, pro-cell cycle and metabolic genes. Thus, ovarian cancer cells with different metastatic potential adhere and activate platelets differentially while both platelets and platelet releasate mediate pro-survival and pro-angiogenic signals in ovarian cancer cells.
