In 1865 Trousseau described the association between venous thromboembolism and malignancy for the first time. Originally he described an unexplained and migratory thrombophlebitis, but later the Trousseau's syndrome was used for the association of all kinds of hypercoagulable states and cancer [ ]. Since then the association between venous thromboembolism (VTE: deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) and cancer has been confirmed in many prospective as well as retrospective studies. A patient with an unprovoked deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism that is screened for cancer has a chance of 6% that a prevalent, previously undetected cancer is diagnosed and a 10% chance that previously undetected cancer is diagnosed within a year.

The risk in unprovoked deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is about four times the risk of provoked disease [ ]. The best screening strategy for undiagnosed cancer however is not known, as we do not know whether extensive screening has any impact on survival or quality of life compared with limited or no screening. For superficial thrombophlebitis the association with cancer has been described in a few case reports only and has never been studied in well designed cohortstudies [, ].

An exceptional form is Mondor's disease, in which phlebitis of the thoracic wall is associated with breast cancer [ ]. In the spring of 2001 a 51-year-old policeman consults his general practitioner (GP) with a painful, red spot on his upper limb. He is not ill, has no fever, has never smoked, uses a couple of beers each day and is known with hypertension, for which he is treated with atenolol ZOC 100 mg once daily. With a length of 1.86 meters and a bodyweight of 98 kilograms he is slightly over weighted. The spot is there for a few days and looks like an oval shaped raised erythema. His GP diagnoses a superficial thrombophlebitis and prescribes conservative treatment: elevation of the leg and compresses.
