However, there are still no clear indications and contraindications until now, and beginners may have inadequate evaluating before port transplantation, leading to a series of consequences. In this article, the clinical data of the perioperative implantable PICC-Port of an NK/T cell lymphoma patient with blood Ophelia syndrome were presented, they are high fever, pretreatment evaluation, and infusion of chemotherapy drugs etc. Information related to the patient' an arm circumference of 18 cm, a body mass index of only 14.14 and the catheter tip position at the 7th dorsal vertebra.
