The 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging is a non-invasive modality for diagnosis and staging of metastatic melanoma. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication of cancers, which needs anticoagulant therapy. Tumor thrombosis (TT), on the other hand, is an infrequent complication of solid malignancies that may need aggressive management. Accurate diagnosis of TT and its differentiation from VTE may change patient management and avoid unnecessary anticoagulation treatment. The objective of this case is to introduce a patient with malignant melanoma presenting with extensive venous tumor thrombi with intense FDG uptake.
