A case of upper left extremity deep vein thrombosis with right side middle lobe syndrome

---

Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis is an extremely important clinical entity with potential for considerable morbidity and mortality. A 64‑year‑old woman was brought to the emergency department with complaints of left upper limb and neck swelling for 4 days.
Ultrasonography of the neck showed thrombosis of the left internal jugular and other surrounding veins associated with local lymphadenopathy. Computed tomography (CT) of the neck also showed a hypodense 0.6 cm × 0.8 cm × 1.2 cm lesion in the right middle lobe bronchus, causing complete occlusion and collapse of the right middle lobe of the lung.
