“…Previous reports have shown an association of this condition with cancer due to hypercoagulable state but it has not been reported in patients with prostate cancer. 3 Another potential explanation is an adverse effect of LHRH analogue injections which have been shown to be associated with venous thromboembolism. 4 Our case shows an isolated left SOVT in a patient with metastatic prostate cancer; differential included a thrombosed varix of the superior ophthalmic vein.…”

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) encompasses various cancers from the upper aerodigestive tract. Initial presentation often includes regional nodal involvement (40% in stage IVA or B) and distant metastases (up to 10%). Facial edema is a frequent clinical issue with multiple causes, such as allergic reactions, trauma, venous thrombosis, infections, and both benign and malignant conditions. An extremely rare condition is tumor thrombosis of the internal jugular vein (IJV), typically reported in differentiated thyroid cancer cases. We present a diagnosed case of SCC of the left lower alveolus in a 54-year-old female who presented with diffuse facial swelling and stridor two years post-diagnosis. Further evaluation through clinical examination and imaging studies revealed partial thrombosis of the right IJV. The patient underwent an emergency tracheostomy and was treated with intravenous heparin, which effectively managed the local symptoms. This case report highlights the clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and favorable prognosis associated with the long-term effects of untreated head and neck cancers.
