Superficial vein thrombosis
A superficial vein thrombosis in the great saphenous vein.
- ... that even a "benign" blood clot in a superficial vein can lead to serious complications? Source: "Thrombosis of the superficial venous system has traditionally been considered to be a benign, self-limiting condition..." (Cosmi et al, DOI: 10.1111/jth.12986); "...a history of clinical SVT was associated with a 6.3-fold increased risk of DVT and a 3.9-fold increased risk of PE." (Kalodiki et al, PMID 22634973)

Overall: 
Expanded >5* and a major improvement to the previous article, giving a complete different meaning. I couldn't access all sources but particularly found the reference(3) useful/relevant. Article demonstrates that the topic is still evolving in aetiology and best treatment options. I anticipate it will change again in many areas. Well done. It's important and a hot topic at moment. basic dyk review criteria appear sound. I created SFJ to link to. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
