Deep vein thrombosis in the upper limbs is a rare disease. It can be idiopathic or secondary to neoplasms, devices (catheters, pacemakers), or thrombophilia.
We describe an unusual case of recurrent deep vein thrombosis in the upper limbs and its association with sternoclavicular hyperostosis. Our studies confirmed a mediastinal mass with negative histopathological results for neoplasia but positive for fibrosis. After starting anticoagulation, the clinical condition was resolved, and we ruled out oncological, infectious, and thrombophilic diseases. Therefore, we assumed focal fibrous mediastinitis as the cause of recurrent thrombosis and clavicular hyperostosis syndrome.
