“Can blood clots in the hand be a sign of cancer?”
Since yesterday I have been seeing blood clots or lumps around my hands and palms. These have appeared all of a sudden and are now worrying me a lot. Could it be a sign of cancer? What type of doctor should I see?

Spontaneous blood clot might be related to cancer or hereditary predisposition to clot/inflammatory disease. Some individual gets superficial thrombophlebitis which can happens due to heredity predispositions (Factor V Leidem, Protrombin gene mutation, thromnoangitis obilterans (in those with connective tissue disease, Lupus, smokers), hormones, or anticoagulant deficiency. Recommend to see a hematologist or rheumatologist (if Thromboangitis obliterates).
