However, screening for malignancy can be life-saving for some patients. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman who was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism and concomitant idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE) without any prominent risk factors for a hypercoagulative state. Clinical and laboratory tests were used to detect the potential causes of idiopathic VTE, such as occult cancer. Consequently, abdominal magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography revealed caecal tumour. Pathological test results indicated early-stage colonic adenocarcinoma. Right hemicolectomy was performed by general surgery and the patient was discharged from the hospital without any problems. Although there has been no consensus about screening for an occult malignancy routinely in idiopathic VTE, occult cancer should be considered in unexplained hypercoagulative states.

Ancak, pulmoner emboli tanısıyla gelen olgularda malignite araştırılması bazı hastalar için hayat kurtarıcı değerde olabilmektedir. Pulmoner emboli ve idiyopatik venöz tromboemboli (VTE) tanısı alan ve pıhtılaşma eğilimi yönünden risk faktörü bulunmayan 53 yaşındaki kadın hastayı sunduk. İdiyopatik VTE nedenlerini özellikle altta yatan olası bir kanseri saptayabilmek için klinik ve laboratuvar araştırmaları yapıldı. Sonuç olarak, çekum tümörü abdomen manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ve abdomen bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) kullanılarak gösterildi. Patoloji sonucu erken evre kolon adenokarsinomu olarak raporlandı. Genel cerrahi kliniği tarafından sağ hemikolektomi uygulandı ve hastaneden sorunsuz bir şekilde taburcu edildi. İdiyopatik VTE ile ilişkili altta yatan gizli kanser yönünden araştırılma konusunda net bir fikir birliği bulunmamasına rağmen, açıklanamayan pıhtılaşma eğiliminin olduğu olgularda gizli bir kanser açısından değerlendirme yapılmalıdır.
