Pulmonary Vein Thrombosis Caused by Lobar Pneumonia

Abstract

Pulmonary vein thrombosis is a rare disease related to a lung malignancy or complication after lung surgery. Generally, it is caused by tumor invasion or localized stenosis of a vein anastomosis site after an operation. Here we report a case of pulmonary vein thrombosis that occurred in a patient with local thrombophlebitis due to lobar pneumonia.
