Obstructing the inferior vena cava and resulting in venous collaterals over the abdomen (image 1) and paraspinal area (image 3). Paracentesis yielded gallons of yellowish tumor fluid (A), while culdocentesis yielded only a small amount of serosanguineous ascitic fluid. In addition to the subcutaneous metastases (arrows, images 1 and 2), note the numerous seborrheic keratoses that had suddenly appeared on her back—the sign of Leser-Trélat. For more information on this sign, see Case 129.
