Thrombocytopenia is a very common hematological disorder that can be seen in many diseases such as splenomegaly diseases, infectious diseases, microangiopathic hemolytic anemias (TTP, HUS) that may occur due to drugs and malignant diseases infiltrating the bone marrow. Thrombocytopenia causes bleeding diathesis and causes petechial and purpuric rashes on the skin and mucous membranes. The petechial eruptions seen in thrombocytopenia are generally widespread throughout the body and are not limited to a single area. In this case report, we wanted to present a 78-year-old patient with thrombocytopenia, who had a diffuse and intense petechial rash on the anterior chest wall secondary to thrombocytopenia but did not have petechiae in other parts of the body.

Trombositopeni, ilaçlara, maling hastalıkların kemik iliğini infiltre etmesine bağlı oluşabilen, splenomegali yapan hastalıklar, enfeksiyöz hastalıklar, mikroanjiopatik hemolitik anemiler (TTP, HÜS) gibi birçok hastalıklarda görülebilen, klinikte çok sık rastlanılan hematolojık bir bozukluktur. Trombositopeni kanama diatezine neden olup cilt ve mukozalarda peteşial ve purpurik döküntülere neden olmaktadır. Trombositopenide görülen peteşial döküntüler genellikle tüm vücutta yaygındır, tek bir bölgeye sınırlı değildir. Bu olgu sunumunda 78 yaşında trombositopenisi olan ve trombositopeniye sekonder göğüs ön duvarında yaygın ve yoğun peteşial döküntü olmasına rağmen vücudun diğer kısımlarında peteşisi olmayan hastayı sunmak istedik.
