["Unknown" cause of the onset and recurrence of venous thromboembolism].
We reported the case of 61 years old man with the first episode of massive pulmonary embolism at the age of 54 without the proper explanation of the cause. Thrombocythaemia was manifested after the dismissal from the hospital but the origin of this condition was not clarified. Essential thrombocythaemia was diagnosed after the recurrence of venous thromboembolism and that is the explanation for thrombophilic condition in this patient. The patient is without problems and signs of recurrent venous thromboembolism after the achievement of the complete remission of myeloproliferative disease and well-managed of anticoagulation therapy.
