Chronic Polyserositis with Obstruction to the Venous Circulation

Venous outflow obstruction: An underestimated contributor to chronic venous disease.

OBJECTIVE To assess the importance of iliac venous outflow obstruction in limbs with and without concomitant deep or superficial reflux, we performed a retrospective analysis of data contemporaneously entered into a set time-stamped electronic medical records program. MATERIAL AND METHOD Four hundred forty-seven limbs underwent iliac vein stenting of chronic, nonmalignant obstruction when gre...

Abdominal wall venous collaterals: the latent clinical sign for central chronic venous obstruction.

Patients with a postthrombotic syndrome, chronic venous insufficiency, or accelerated recurrent varicosities may suffer from a persistent central venous outflow obstruction. Therefore, it is important to recognize the clinical signs for central venous obstruction. Unfortunately, most physicians are not inclined to expose the groin and lower abdominal wall to search for these signs. Additionally...

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia presenting with polyserositis due to an immune-mediated monocyte activation

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Monocytosis is often profoundly implicated in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). We diagnosed a 63-year-old woman with CMML involving heterochronological systemic polyserositis with infiltrating benign monocytes. The patient's pleural effusion was eliminated completely with corticosteroid therapy. We speculate that our case represents an immunological reaction with act...
