Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a common disease that annually affects 0.1-0.3%of the general population; It is also a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in cancerpatients. DVT occurs more frequently in the treatment phase in which they are associated withthe neoplastic prothrombotic process and effects of chemotherapy. In a small number of cases itis identified in the diagnosis or it may even be its first symptom. A secondary focal DVT extrinsiccompression and destruction of surrounding tissue raises the suspicion of a malignant process.A case is presented of a focal DVT that was the first manifestation a non-Hodgkin’s diffuse largeB-cell lymphoma.
