AbstractCentral venous ports are used in long term therapies of cancer patients. The insertion technique and maintenance of central venous ports is very important to avoid catheter associated complications. Widely used central venous ports in cancer patients should be periodically maintained and evaluated by expert physicians. The most frequent complications of central venous ports are catheter obstruction, infection, venous thrombosis and extravasation. In this paper, a rare intrapulmonary catheter dislocation is presented.
