Which of the following condition is associated with migratory thrombophlebitis?
Correct Answer: Varicose veins
Description: Superficial vein thrombophlebitis (SVT) most commonly occurs in varicose veins but can occur in normal veins. When SVT recurs at variable sites in normal superficial veins, it may signify a hidden visceral malignancy or a systemic disease such as a blood dyscrasia and/or a collagen vascular disease. This condition is known as thrombophlebitis migrans. Clinical signs of SVT include redness, warmth, and tenderness along the distribution of the affected veins, often associated with a palpable cord.
