Superficial Thrombophlebitis Associated To Hepatocarcinoma: An Exuberant Manifestation

Marcia Ramos-e-Silva

The authors present a case of an elderly female with thrombophlebitis that led to the search for malignancy. A hepatocarcinoma was found, thus permitting its early diagnosis and probably the beginning of therapy long before it would present any symptom. Thrombophlebitis may represent an alert to an internal neoplasia, being considered a paraneoplasia, and all physicians must be acquainted with this association.
