Subclavian vein thrombosis: an unusual presentation of renal cell carcinoma
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5489/cuaj.615Abstract
Subclavian vein thrombosis is an uncommon clinical conditionwhich is often associated with venous catheterization or secondary
to excessive effort. We present a 54-year-old female with subclavian
vein thrombosis as a first presentation of renal cell carcinoma.
Although this is an unusual presentation, malignancy should be
considered in the differential diagnosis. Hypercoagulability as part
of a paraneoplastic syndrome was considered a possible etiology.
In patients with otherwise unexplained subclavian vein thrombosis,
full systemic examination and radiological evaluation of the abdomen,
retroperitoneum and pelvis should be pursued. A review of
the literature relevant to this unusual case is provided.
