Key Points

Examine the clinical relationship between malignant disease and thrombotic disorders, including recurrent thrombophlebitis and embolism.
Clinical review examining historical observations and reported manifestations of thrombosis in neoplastic disease.
Thrombophlebitis linked to cancer is typically recurrent, migrating, involves atypical sites like the upper trunk and arms, and frequently resists standard anticoagulation.
Malignancies most frequently associated with a thrombotic tendency include tumors of the lung, ovary, stomach, and pancreas.
Approximately 3% to 5% of patients presenting with clinical evidence of thrombosis are found to have an underlying cancer.
