Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses two medical conditions: deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT refers to the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, typically located in the leg. It ranks as the third leading cause of cardiovascular-related deaths, following heart attacks and strokes. Idiopathic VTE can sometimes be an initial clinical sign of an undiagnosed malignancy. This report examines the case of a 42-year-old male who presented with symptoms of lower limb swelling and pain.
