Three cases of MPM complicated with DIC were reported in a total of 6862 autopsies (0.04%) from 1950 to 1989 year in our university hospital. All the three cases showed hemorrhagic patches, shock, decreased platelets and fibrinogen, and prolonged prothrombin and thrombin time. Hyaline thrombosis was observed in the pulmonary interstitial microvessels. We have also discussed the diagnosis and pathogenesis of DIC.
