[Peripheral embolic arterial accident due to pulmonary vein thrombosis revealing bronchial carcinoma].
The authors report a case of left superior pulmonary vein thrombosis discovered on transoesophageal ultrasonography in the context of aetiological assessment of a systemic vascular accident. This unusual site of a thrombus on an anatomically perfectly normal left atrium led the authors to perform a more detailed assessment, revealing a previously undiagnosed lung cancer on thoracic CT scan.
