title: Spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis associated with leiomyosarcoma of the omentum.
abstract: A case of spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis associated with distant malignancy is presented.

It was discovered on a gynecologic oncology service in a patient explored for a pelvic abdominal mass.
