Diffuse infiltrative laryngoesophageal and peritoneal venous malformations mimicking carcinomatosis with a subclavian vein aneurysm.
Venous malformations are benign vascular lesions that can occur in any part of the body. Esophageal venous malformations can extend into the peritoneum, so preoperative imaging can be decisive in diagnosis and treatment. The characteristic manifestations of venous malformations are transmural phleboliths, centripetal enhancement on dynamic CT, and bluish mucosa on endoscopy. We report a rare case of female patient diagnosed with venous malformations involving laryngoesophagus, mediastinum, and peritoneum, which mimicked carcinomatosis, in addition to a left subclavian vein aneurysm.
