Abstract: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common disease that can lead to death. Many studies have looked at the chance of occurrence and the factors affecting thrombosis as one of the complications of cancer. This chance increases in patients with more severe cancer. The progression of cancer and the risk of death in patients with DVT is more severe and with a worse prognosis. But according to our knowledge, there is no accurate report of the incidence and diagnosis of cancer long after thrombosis .In our case, lung adenocarcinoma arose months after the onset of frequent thrombosis in a healthy person. So recommended to consider the risk of developing cancer in patients with recurrent thrombosis.
