Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and breast cancer are common disorders. Only six cases in which patients have had both diseases have been reported. We describe a 40-year-old woman who had ITP while responding to therapy for metastatic breast cancer. Given the few reported cases, the diverse presentations of thrombocytopenia during the course of each patient's breast cancer and the variable therapeutic responses of ITP, the association of breast cancer and ITP is probably coincidental.
免疫性血小板减少性紫癜（ITP）和乳腺癌都是常见疾病。仅有6例患者同时患有这两种疾病的病例被报道过。我们描述了一名40岁女性，她在接受转移性乳腺癌治疗时患有ITP。鉴于报道的病例较少，每位乳腺癌患者病程中血小板减少的表现多样，以及ITP的治疗反应各异，乳腺癌与ITP之间的关联可能是巧合。
