Venous thromboembolism is a serious clinical condition that manifests as deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism. Patients with a first episode of venous thromboembolism are at an increased risk of new episodes. Thrombophilia is defined as a predisposition to thrombosis and may be inherited or acquired. Hereditary thrombophilia is a major risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary embolism and its recurrence. Prothrombin G20210A heterozygosity is a genetic form of thrombophilia named for a specific mutation and is the second common cause of inherited coagulation disorders. We present case of a 76-year-old male patient presenting with recurrent pulmonary embolism and abdominal aortic mural thrombus who was detected hereditary thrombophilia. The casewas presented in order to emphasize that etiology should be investigated in recurrent pulmonary embolism.
