Trousseau
syndrome in a patient with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma: a case report. Patient computed tomography scan and positron emission tomography/computed tomography images. a and (b) Computed tomography showed a mass in the right buccal mucosa (red arrow) that extended superiorly to destruct the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, inferiorly to the retromolar trigone, and laterally to the buccinator muscle and the anterior border of the masseter muscles, with multiple cervical lymph node enlargement. c Whole-body 18F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed increased uptake in multiple lymph nodes in the right cervical area, right scapula and erector spinae muscles, and right femur (red arrows)
Trousseau
syndrome in a patient with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma: a case report. Patient computed tomography scan images after onset of aphasia and loss of consciousness. a Scattered hyperdense curvilinear areas (red arrow) suggestive of developing petechial hemorrhage in the region of the right middle cerebral artery. b Diffusion-weighted image showed a scattered lesion (red arrow) affecting the cortical part supplied by the right middle cerebra artery with corresponding deficit. c Head magnetic resonance angiography showed attenuated flow-related signal in middle cerebral artery beyond the M1 segment, while its superior division was not visible (red arrow). d A Doppler ultrasound scan of the neck revealed that the right internal jugular vein was compressed by metastatic lymph nodes. e A thrombosis was detected in the left internal jugular vein (red arrow). CA carotid artery, IJV internal jugular vein, LN metastatic lymph node
nicht verwechseln mit: Trousseau sign
Trousseau syndrome (not to be confused with Trousseau sign) represents the association between migratory thrombophlebitis and malignancy, particularly mucin-producing tumors; hence one of its other names: cancer-associated thromboembolism .
History and etymology
Armand Trousseau (1801-1867), was a French physician who was the first to describe this association. Ironically he observed this exact phenomenon in himself in his upper limb prior to being diagnosed with gastric carcinoma .
