Abstract:
Venous thromboembolism is a one of the most common complications of cancer, which contributes to mortality in cancer patients. The prognosis of cancer patients with thrombosis is significantly worse. Venous thromboembolism can be the first manifestation of occult cancer. Incidence of subsequent cancer diagnosis after thrombotic event reaches 25% and is highest within the first 6 months. Risk of cancer diagnosis is significantly higher in patients with idiopathic thrombosis compared with those with secondary thrombosis. We present case of 67-year-old man with recurrent vein thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism, who was subsequently diagnosed with disseminated adenocarcinoma, most likely of the lung.
