Abstract

|
|
|
Trousseau’s syndrome refers to an association of thrombosis with visceral malignancy. The thrombophlebitis is usually recurrent and migratory. An episode of thrombosis may precede clinical recognition of malignancy by weeks or months and in many cases, the underlying malignancy was occult. Patients with a recurrent deep venous thrombophlebitis without a known predisposing factors for hypercoagulable state deserves a consideration for underlying malignancy. We report a patient with lung cancer who initially demonstrates the clinical features of the Trousseau’s syndrome.
