Workup

(See Etiology, Presentation, and Workup .) Thrombosis and thrombophlebitis of the superficial venous system receive little attention in medical and surgical textbooks. [emedicine.medscape.com]
An extensive workup is only warranted if there is significant concern for a hypercoagulability disorder or cancer, both of which can be evaluated with an appropriate review of systems, family history, and physical exam. [dovepress.com]
Occult cancers may be present in patients with apparently idiopathic DVT, but extensive workup of patients for tumors is not recommended unless patients have major risk factors for cancer or symptoms suggestive of an occult cancer. [msdmanuals.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis and Long-Term Managment The prognosis of people with superficial thrombophlebitis depends on its etiology, the extent of involvement, and whether there was extension of blood clot into the deep venous system. [austinvaricosevein.com]

Etiology
Etiology Risk factors The most important clinically identifiable risk factors for thrombophlebitis are a prior history of superficial phlebitis, DVT, and PE. [emedicine.medscape.com]
If a careful history and physical examination and baseline laboratory studies fail to suggest a malignant etiology for the thrombosis, further workup for occult neoplasm is rarely warranted. [asams.org]
