Fatal tumor thrombosis due to an inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma in a patient with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Presenting with Superior Vena Cava Thrombosis

Renal Ewing\'s sarcoma with the spread of tumor thrombosis to the inferior vena cava: case report

Background: Ewing's sarcoma/Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a group of tumors with small round cells that originate from nerve stem cells. They are generally more common in children and often occur in the soft or bony tissues of the limbs, trunk, head, and neck. Ewing's sarcoma is a rare disease in the kidney and its tumor thrombosis into Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) is assumed as a very ...

Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome Associated with Graves’ Disease Presenting As Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis with Bilateral Lower Limb DVT

We report a case of a 60-year-old lady who presented with bilateral lower limb swelling and a thyroid swelling with clinical features consistent with thyrotoxicosis. Investigations revealed the presence of a thrombus in bilateral external, internal iliac veins, and inferior vena cava extending up to its infrahepatic part. Hormone profile and radioiodine uptake scan confirmed the diagnosis of Gr...

INFERIOR VENA CAVA THROMBOSIS IN A PATIENT WITH ESSENTIAL THROMBOCYTHEMIA

Essential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a sustained proliferation of megakaryocytes, which leads to increased numbers of circulating platelets. Hemorrhagic and/or thrombotic episodes are frequent, and thrombosis of both veins and arteries may develop. Vessels in unusual sites may be involved, e.g., the hepatic veins, mesenteric veins, and the dig...

Superior Vena Cava Syndrome due to Thrombosis: A Rare Paraneoplastic Presentation of Bronchogenic Carcinoma

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is not an uncommon occurrence in patients with malignancy and it is often described as a medical emergency. In majority of the cases, SVC syndrome occurs due to mechanical obstruction of the SVC by extraluminal compression with primary intrathoracic malignancies. However, intraluminal obstruction due to thrombosis can also produce symptoms and signs of SVC synd...
