Internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis is a rare finding and is usually associated with central venous catheterization, neck infections, or local trauma. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) rarely predispose to central vein thrombosis. The usual presentation of pulmonary NET depends on tumor location and is usually non-specific. It ranges from asymptomatic to cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, etc. Here we present the case of a 52-year-old male with right-sided neck swelling. Ultrasound imaging of the neck revealed right IJV and right subclavian vein thrombosis. Further imaging with computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed mediastinal mass. Histopathology findings were consistent with NET of pulmonary origin. Patient was started immediately on anti-coagulation and radiology oncology was consulted for tumor-specific treatment. This case highlights an association of central vein thrombosis with underlying mediastinal and lung malignancies.
