Membranous nephropathy is well described to be associated with hypercoagulable state. Pulmonary embolism is a common occurrence with  hypercoagulability and early recognition and prompt treatment including thrombolysis is warranted. We present here a case of massive thrombus in the pulmonary trunk and inferior vena cava in a patient with membranous nephropathy where anticoagulation with heparin was continued with successful resolution over time. We discuss the pros and cons of anticoagulation amangement in such patients and review the literature.

AbstractLeiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor of the venous system that typically occurs in adulthood. Correct and early recognition of leiomyosarcoma is very important, because a complete resection of the tumor (with occasionally chemio-or radiotherapy) can lead to prolonged survival. We report a case of a 54-year-old man suffering from the leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava with infiltration of retroperitoneum and right adrenal gland.

Objective: To report a case of neonatal renal vein thrombosis diagnosed by duplex scan and treated successfully with intravenous heparin. Design: Case report. Setting: Angiology and Vascular Surgery Unit, Hospital Universitario Puerta del Mar, Cádiz, Spain. Interventions: Conservative treatment with short-term intravenous heparin. Conclusions: Colour Doppler imaging rapidly assesses flow within the renal veins and inferior vena cava, and should be used as the first line of investigation in evaluating venous thrombosis in the neonatal period. In view of the few reports in the literature assessing the different therapeutic modalities of this entity, we advocate short-term anticoagulation in unilateral renal vein thrombosis in the newborn.
