Key Words	Pulmonary embolism; Upper limb venous thrombosis; Modified radical mastectomy for breast; Case report
Core Tip	We report two cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) that originated from upper limb venous thrombosis (ULVT) on the side undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Our findings should spur surgeons to pay more attention to upper limb venous thrombosis. These cases challenge the traditional theory that PE originates from the lower extremities. Although there is a lower incidence of clinical PE in patients with upper limb venous thrombosis, since PE is a serious complication that can be potentially life-threatening, ULVT as a source of PE after breast cancer surgery cannot be ignored.
