Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is an uncommon complication following shoulder arthroscopy.
  • The unusual occurrence of DVT post-arthroscopy warrants investigation for hypercoagulable states or extrinsic venous compression.

Observation:

  • A patient developed DVT after undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
  • The DVT was found to be caused by an extrinsic mass compressing the innominate vein.

Findings:

  • The extrinsic mass was identified as a previously asymptomatic Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • This finding underscores a rare presentation of lymphoma.

Implications:

  • Shoulder arthroscopy patients with DVT may require screening for occult malignancies.
