Pulmonary embolism and deep jugular venous thrombosis resulting from compression by a lipoma

Abstract

Lipomas usually extend in subcutaneous tissues and rarely may be compressive. We report a case of neck lipoma resulting in jugular vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in a patient treated by clozapine. Clozpine may be considered an associated risk factor for thrombosis. This case suggests that performing a regional evaluation may be particularly important when thrombophlebitis occurs.
