“…The most common causes of upper extremity thrombosis are central venous catheterization, infections, intravenous drug use, trauma, abdominal surgery, compression due to a tumour or the use of a collar and cuff for humeral fracture stabilization, vessel abnormalities, such as saccular aneurysms of the external jugular vein and Lemierre's syndrome. There are several cases in the literature demonstrating an association between venous thrombosis and thalidomide used in the treatment of leprosy, particularly when used with steroids [1][2][3][4][5][6] ; however, there has only been 1 case in the literature reporting an association between tuberculoid leprosy and external jugular vein thrombosis [7] . Therefore, we herein present the first case of tuberculoid leprosy associated with external jugular vein thrombosis in Qatar.…”

Thrombotic disease represents a rare manifestation of leprosy. In this study, we report the case of an external jugular vein thrombosis associated with tuberculoid leprosy in a 23-year-old male patient. The patient presented with a 3-month history of painful cord-like swelling on the left side of the neck and a nearly 3-week history of skin lesions on the left cheek and right leg. Physical examination revealed cord-like, tender swelling on the left lateral aspect of the neck overlying the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and a hypopigmented, hypoaesthetic 6×7 cm lesion with an irregular margin on the left cheek. A Doppler ultrasound examination of the jugular vein showed thrombosis of the left external jugular vein. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the computed tomography scan showed the enlarged and enhanced left external jugular vein, as well as 1 of its tributaries, and the thickened skin patch. A skin punch biopsy from the left cheek lesion revealed granulomatous inflammation with occasional peri-adnexal granulomas, consistent with the clinical impression of tuberculoid leprosy. A diagnosis of leprosy with external jugular vein thrombosis was established. Anticoagulation therapy was initiated, and the patient was referred to an infectious disease clinic for treatment with anti-leprosy medications.
