Spontaneous preoperative internal jugular and subclavian vein thrombosis associated with an early-stage synchronous ovarian/endometrial malignancy.
A case of preoperative spontaneous internal jugular/subclavian vein thrombosis documented with magnetic resonance imaging associated with a synchronous stage II ovarian/stage I endometrial malignancy is presented. This unusual deep venous thrombosis site is classically associated with trauma, infection, head and neck malignancies, or central venous catheterization and is rarely associated with distant malignancies. Neck pain and swelling in a gynecologic oncology patient should prompt consideration of this diagnosis.
