Résumé

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) results from near complete venous thrombosis and occlusion in an extremity resulting in pain, cyanosis, and edema and potentially death. While PCD can result from a variety of mechanisms including trauma, iatrogenic instrumentation, the majority of cases occur in the setting of malignancy. PCD is often managed medically with anticoagulation. However, in certain circumstances, surgical intervention may be warranted. Here, we present a unique case of phlegmasia cerulea dolens occurring following an internal hemipelvectomy requiring emergent surgical intervention to salvage life and limb. A review of the literature regarding diagnosis and treatment is also presented.
