Abstrakt: There is a long-recognized association between cancer and venous thromboembolism. Venous thrombosis is the most common paraneoplastic complication. We describe a case of rupture of esophageal varices in a patient with a paraneoplastic portal thrombosis. We highlight the links between venous thromboembolism and cancer and also discuss treatment and prognostic factors.
