Superficial migratory thrombophlebitis and factor XII deficiency

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology

Abstract

A patient with painful migratory erythematous nodules for 7 years is presented. The nodules, which were localized on the lower and upper extremities, progressed to palpable cords. Multiple venograms showed no evidence of deep vein thrombosis. Skin biopsy specimens were diagnostic of superficial thrombophlebitis. There was no evidence of internal malignancy. Extensive evaluation for an underlying hypercoagulable state was remarkable for a factor XII level 17% of normal. The patient was unresponsive to a wide range of treatments. The recalcitrant nature of his disease and lack of deep venous involvement are unique. An underlying hypercoagulable state should be considered when the diagnosis of superficial migratory thrombophlebitis is considered.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
