Abstract

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) more commonly occurs in the lower extremities, whereas involvement of the upper extremities is rare. The present case report describes the clinical course of the development and treatment of upper extremity DVT (UEDVT) following insertion of an indwelling central venous (CV) port in a patient with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the thigh. A 66‑year‑old man was referred to our hospital for STS treatment. The indwelling CV port was placed via the left subclavian vein, and two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were administered. Two months after the catheter placement, DVT was detected from the left upper arm to the left internal jugular vein. Anticoagulation therapy with warfarin was started and DVT was undetectable at 5 months after surgery. In conclusion, DVT may occur in cancer patients who undergo treatment with indwelling CV ports. Therefore, screening should be conducted concurrently with surgical resection and chemotherapy for STS.
