title: [Thoracic outlet syndrome and tumor embolism].
abstract: This is probably the first report of a rare tumor-embolization from a leiomyosarcoma into the brachial artery simultaneously linked with a thoracic outlet syndrome. After transaxillary rib resection and thromboembolectomy only histological examination of the resected specimen allowed the final diagnosis: leimyosarcomatous embolus.
