Venous thromboembolism as the first manifestation of disseminated malignancy (Trusso’s syndrome)
Abstract
A description is given of a patient with a latent tumor process that has developed recurrent thrombosis of the superficial and deep veins of the lower extremities, common iliac veins, PE, a blood clot in the right ventricle, and a spleen infarction. The examination revealed bronchogenic lung cancer with metastases to the bronchopulmonary lymph nodes and liver, confirmed by an autopsy.
