On 2/11/93, the patient underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and insertion of a right hickman catheter. On 5/3/93, the patient developed pain at the hickman catheter entrance site ( under the right clavicle) during adriamycin infusion in the physician's office. On 5/5/93 under fluoroscopic guidance, each part of the hickman was injected with contrast separately. When the red cap was injected, extravasation was noted at the level where the right clavicle crosses the first rib. This is consistent with a leak in the catheter from this site.
