Abstract
We present a case of primary systemic amyloidosis complicated by multiple thrombotic events and initially presenting with a massive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. Widespread infiltration of the vascular tree by amyloid was found at the time of autopsy. In addition, we report successful treatment of the massive inferior vena cava thrombosis with systemic thrombolysis.
