A 73-year-old woman had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for unexpected gallbladder cancer and 9 days later underwent both a liver bed resection and lymph node dissection. Four years later, she underwent a further resection of a port site recurrence of gallbladder cancer and no other site of recurrence was observed. The seeding of cancer cells during the removal of the resected gallbladder might have caused this tumor. This case may show that the port site recurrence did not necessarily indicate an incurable stage of the disease. In addition, an excision of the recurrent tumor also appeared to eliminate the disease in the patient.

Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a frequent and potentially serious complication associated with the widespread use of intravascular devices such as central venous catheters, including peripherally inserted central catheters and implantable port systems, pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Although CRT management has been informed by guidelines extrapolated from lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), unique challenges remain due to the distinct anatomical, pathophysiological, and clinical characteristics of upper extremity DVT. Risk factors for CRT are multifactorial, encompassing patient-related characteristics such as cancer, prior venous thromboembolism, and infection, as well as catheter-specific factors like device type, lumens, and insertion site.
