A 51-year-old man with multiple metastases from a malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the thigh received trabectedin. A central venous port (CVP) was implanted in the left subclavian subcutaneous fat the day before chemotherapy. We noticed that the patient’s clothes were wet 18h after administration; however, redness, swelling and pain were not noted.

Therefore, the needle was reinserted and trabectedin administration was continued. The patient developed redness around the CVP and visited the emergency room 4 days after chemotherapy.” Yoshimi et al (2017).
