      A 23-year-old man presents with oral plaques, a sore throat, dysphagia, malaise, and weight loss. What is the most likely diagnosis?

      Three issues need to be addressed: the length of therapy, measures to prevent postthrombotic syndrome, and a basic workup for possible underlying malignancy.

      David L. Longworth, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2011, 78 (9) 571-582; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78gr.11003

      Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2011, 78 (9) 563; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78b.11009

      Don’t let the argument about how long to treat osteoporosis with bisphosphonate drugs stand in the way of initiating therapy in patients at risk of fracture.
