title: [Venous aneurysmatic malformation of the chest wall as a rare cause of pulmonary embolism--a case report].
abstract: This is a case report about a 66-year old man with recurrent pulmonary embolisms. Phlebography revealed a monstrous venous aneurysm of the right chest wall with several venous dilatations and calcification as the source of the embolism. Radiological embolisation and surgical ligation of the large aneurysmatic neck were performed. No further embolism episodes were registered under anticoagulation during the 23 months of the postoperative follow-up investigation.
