Thrombosis can be a clinical symptom of hidden cancer, as evidenced by numerous studies. Inherited and acquired thrombophilia are well-known risk factors for venous thromboembolism. The incidence of thrombotic events in cancer patients is increased compared to normal population. Data on inherited thrombophilia and cancer is limited. In most cases, a key role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis of rare localization is played by hereditary thrombophilia. Clinically, venous thromboembolism and cancer are almost always closely interrelated, and often thrombosis can be the only clinical symptom of latent cancer. Here in this case report, we present a case of thrombosis of rare localization in a cancer patient with combined form of thrombophilia.
