title: Extreme Thrombocytosis after Penetrating Femoral Venous Injury.
abstract: Lower extremity trauma is an uncommon cause of reactive thrombocytosis. A 17-year-old male patient with an extreme increase in platelet count caused by penetrating femoral venous injury is presented. During his stay in hospital, two thrombotic attacks were observed. Such events should be considered as high risk for thrombosis and anticoagulant therapy administered.
