RESUMEN
Resumen El Saw Palmetto es un producto natural procesado de la planta Serenoa repens, de uso medicinal en pacientes con hiperplasia prostática benigna (HPB), sin aprobación por la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA), pero avalado en algunos países de la Unión Europea. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con trombocitopenia amegacariocítica adquirida secundaria al consumo de Saw Palmetto, con manejo terapéutico inicial con corticoides e inmunoglobulinas por presunción clínica de trombocitopenia inmune (PTI).
