AIM: We report an unusual case of a male weightlifter with upper
extremity venous thrombosis.
CASE PRESENTATION: Thrombosis affecting subclavian-axillo-humeral
venous trunk produced by the compression of these veins by the trained
muscles of the shoulder girdle (Paget-Schroetter syndrome) has been
reported. During the study, a renal carcinoma was detected. Renal carcinoma
has rarely been associated with thrombosis in the upper extremities.
CONCLUSION: This case shows the importance of performing a complete
study to rule out malignancies in patients with unusual venous
thromboembolism.
