In this article, a case of a young woman who presented with extensive deep venous thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and lower extremities with pulmonary embolism is described. Findings of various imaging modalities highlighting an interesting finding of a "hot quadrate lobe" sign demonstrated by planar radionuclide venography and single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography are illustrated.
