Migratory thrombophlebitis
From WikiLectures
Thrombophlebitis migrans is an acquired coagulopathy that occurs as a paraneoplastic syndrome typically in adenocarcinomas (most often of the pancreas). It is characterized by recurrent, migrating inflammation of superficial veins, manifesting as painful, reddened foci with general symptoms of an inflammatory disease.[1]
It is also referred to as Trousseau's sign, according to Amanda Trousseau, who himself described the condition in connection with a diagnosed Gastric cancer. It confirms the connection of the hypercoagulable state with visceral malignancy.[2]
Be careful not to confuse with a condition called Trousseau's symptom!
