Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) is the consequence of an EDTA-activated platelet agglutination, resulting in a spuriously low platelet count. We report the case of a 54-year-old man with EDTA-dependent PTCP associated with liver cirrhosis. He couldn't undergo endoscopic examination and dental care for two years because of a previous diagnosis of severe thrombocytopenia secondary to liver cirrhosis. Lack of PTCP recognition may lead the physician to misdiagnosis and mismanagement of the patient.
假性血小板减少症（PTCP）是乙二胺四乙酸（EDTA）激活血小板凝集的结果，导致血小板计数假性降低。我们报告一例54岁男性，患有与肝硬化相关的EDTA依赖性PTCP。由于先前诊断为肝硬化继发严重血小板减少症，他两年来无法接受内镜检查和牙科治疗。未识别出PTCP可能导致医生对患者误诊和管理不当。
