Description
Shadman Rahman and co-authors report a 2025 case of a woman aged thirty-seven whose urgent illness hid a hidden cancer. She came in with growing headache and vomiting, and tests showed diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous build up of acids linked to diabetes. Staff treated that crisis and its salt imbalances at once.
Concern about pressure inside the skull led to brain imaging, which found spread of cancer to the brain. Broad scans, tissue tests, and review by many specialists still found no starting site, so the case was classed as cancer of unknown primary. She was sent for whole brain radiation and palliative care. The authors stress early warning signs, fast imaging, and close team work in such cases.
