[Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis and lung neoplasm].
A woman with the final diagnosis of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis associated to pulmonary adenocarcinoma is reported. She had had repetitive embolic strokes as the first manifestation, with vegetations on the mitral valve and without signs of acute infectious disease. The case is interesting because is an usually case of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis and the importance of an early diagnostic.
