Abstract
A 44 year-old man with a history of recurrent deep vein thromboses and pulmonary embolism was admitted to the hospital with bilateral pulmonary emboli and an acute, non-occlusive DVT of the left common femoral vein. He had recently been hospitalized and diagnosed with Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia and was treated with prednisone. On physical examination, the patient was noted to have a eunuchoid body habitus, with complete absence of chest, axillary and abdominal hair. Gynecomastia was present and his testes were found to be 2cm and firm to palpation
