Thrombophlebitis complicating sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis

L C Haenel, W R Bradway, P J Costantini

    Postgraduate Medicine
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis, a rare disease, is distinct from Paget's disease due to unique findings. This case highlights a rare complication of upper extremity thrombophlebitis with subclavian vein obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis (SCH) is a recently identified condition of unknown etiology.
    • While sharing some features with Paget's disease, unique characteristics suggest SCH is a distinct entity.

    Observation:

    • The reported case meets the diagnostic criteria for sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis.
    • This patient presented with upper extremity thrombophlebitis, a complication not previously associated with SCH.

    Findings:

    • The thrombophlebitis was linked to an underlying obstruction of the subclavian vein.
    • Histologic, clinical, and anatomic findings confirmed the diagnosis of SCH.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis.
    • Recognizing this association is crucial for managing patients with SCH and preventing vascular complications.
