Clinically suspected deep leg--and/or pelvic vein thrombosis nowadays is usually evaluated by ascending phlebography. This paper demonstrates the unusual additional finding of soft tissue hemorrhage--shown by Phlebography--in a 53 year old female suffering from acute pelvic vein thrombosis. A possible pathophysiologic mechanism for this hemorrhage is being discussed briefly.
