The case of a 49-year-old male patient who presented with recurrent pulmonary emboli secondary to a calcified lesion within his inferior vena cava is presented. The diagnosis and relevant literature is reviewed. This is the first time that calcification within the inferior vena cava has presented this way in adults, and it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients presenting with recurrent pulmonary emboli.
