Malignancy increases the risk of thromboembolic events. Vascular events such as venous thromboses can even precede the diagnosis of cancer. A 48-year-old woman presented with an extensive thrombophlebitis of the left small saphenous vein and a perforating vein of the right leg after foam sclerotherapy with Aethoxysklerol foam 0.5% for small varicose veins of both lower legs. A few days later an unknown advanced breast cancer was diagnosed. This case shows that not only venous thromboses but also thrombophlebitis can be a warning sign for malignancy.
恶性肿瘤会增加血栓栓塞事件的风险。诸如静脉血栓形成等血管事件甚至可能在癌症诊断之前出现。一名48岁女性在使用0.5%的聚多卡醇泡沫对双下肢小静脉曲张进行泡沫硬化治疗后,出现了左小腿小隐静脉及右下肢一支穿通静脉广泛血栓性静脉炎。几天后,诊断出患有不明的晚期乳腺癌。该病例表明,不仅静脉血栓形成,血栓性静脉炎也可能是恶性肿瘤的警示信号。
