62-year-old male with metastatic prostate carcinoma, undergoing chemotherapy.

  • Symptoms: 7-week left leg edema, suspected cellulitis unresponsive to antibiotics, impacting daily activities.
  • Clinical Examination: Left extremity showed erythematous edema, indurated skin, and tenderness; normal contralateral limb and overall system exams.
  • Diagnostics: Included a CECT scan revealing a thrombus and soft tissue mass in the mid-left iliac vein.
  • Findings: Thrombus and vessel wall compression in the iliac vein; normal echocardiogram; elevated D-dimer and inflammatory markers.
  • Treatment: Mechanical thrombectomy with subsequent left iliac vein stenting due to flow limitation from external compression.
  • Outcome: Immediate symptom improvement and the patient was referred for palliative radiotherapy for prostate carcinoma.
