Key Clinical Message A 50‐year‐old female with ovarian cancer for 4 years presented with abdominal pain. She started antibiotics for possible infection, and developed extravascular hemolysis. All antigen detection tests were negative, but lectin panel suggested Tk‐activation. Additional laboratory testing in conjunction with blood bank is essential to investigate rare cause of hemolysis.
