Abstract :
A 66‑year‑old female patient presented to us in
Baqiyatallah Hospital with colon cancer. She
had undergone surgery and multiple courses of
chemotherapy. The patient was suffering from severe
weight loss and orthopnea for the past 3 weeks and was
admitted to the hospital for this reason. She was severely
cachectic and weighted about 41 kg. No abnormality was
found on physical examination. Due to rapid death of the
patient, no clinical tests were performed for the patient.
