This report describes a patient admitted with shortness of breath due to cardiac tamponade, which masked concomitant
pulmonary embolism
that was diagnosed only after right heart pressures failed to decrease after successful pericardiocentesis. The patient was found to have widely metastatic adenocarcinoma of colon (with metastases to pericardium) and a
paraneoplastic syndrome
of deep vein thrombosis.

Upper torso deep vein thrombosis usually occurs in association with an indwelling venous catheter and/or malignancy as part of a
paraneoplastic syndrome
. However, idiopathic internal jugular vein thrombosis is a rare but potentially fatal condition. We report a 59-year-old woman who presented with severe dizziness. Ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography revealed thrombi in the left internal jugular vein. This patient had no malignancy, coagulation disorder, or infection. A ventilation/perfusion scan of the lungs showed no evidence of
pulmonary embolism
. This is a rare case of idiopathic thrombosis of the internal jugular vein.

We present a very rare case of
paraneoplastic syndrome
characterized by the unusual coexistence of a left ventricular apical thrombus and
pulmonary embolism
as the first manifestation of an unrecognized lung adenocarcinoma.

Paraneoplastic syndromes
are rare disorders that are triggered by an altered immune system response to neoplasm.
Paraneoplastic syndromes
may be the first or the most prominent manifestations of cancer. Wilm's tumor is the most frequent pediatric renal malignancy and usually presents with abdominal mass. Unusual presentations like acquired von Willebrand disease, sudden death due to
pulmonary embolism
and Cushing syndrome have been described in the literature. Cushing syndrome, as the presenting symptom of a malignant renal tumor in children, is a very rare entity. Few case reports are available in the literature exploring the option of preoperative chemotherapy as well as upfront nephrectomy. We report a rare case of paraneoplastic Cushing syndrome due to a Wilm's tumor. Based on gradual decrease of postoperative weight, blood pressure, serum adrenocorticotropic hormone, and plasma cortisol levels, along with histological confirmation of Wilm's tumor, paraneoplastic Cushing syndrome due to Wilm's tumor was confirmed.
