초록

Cellulitis and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) have similar symptoms (lower extremity pain, erythema, and swelling) and there isthe potential for misdiagnosis. In cases of cellulitis, DVT should be ruled out, as the symptoms of cellulitis might mask those ofDVT, leading to serious complications such as pulmonary thromboembolism. The reported incidence of DVT in patients withcellulitis is low, especially patients with progression to pulmonary thromboembolism. We present a case of pulmonarythromboembolism following cellulitis of the lower leg in a 54-year-old male.

Abstract

The reported incidence of DVT in patients withcellulitis is low, especially patients with progression to pulmonary thromboembolism. We present a case of pulmonarythromboembolism following cellulitis of the lower leg in a 54-year-old male.
