Abstract
This report presents a rare case of thrombophilia – thrombosis of the ovarian vein in combination with thrombosis of the right common iliac vein. The symptoms were initially interpreted as acute appendicitis that led to the decision to perform laparoscopy. Thereafter, a different diagnosis – acute endometritis, acute salpingo-oophoritis – was proposed. As the subsequent treatment resulted in no improvement, a CT scan was performed to detect thrombi of a typical localizations and a mass in the uterus area, which turned out to be a poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma. In the patient’s medical history, multiple signs of family thrombophilia were found; further laboratory tests also pointed to the diagnosis of thrombophilia. Considering the previously performed surgery and the confirmed thrombophilia of rare localization, permanent anticoagulant therapy was recommended.
