ABSTRACT

La Endocarditis trombótica no bacteriana se caracteriza por la presencia de vegetaciones no infectadas en válvulas de corazón izquierdo que producen émbolos a cerebro y otros órganos. Las neoplasias comúnmente asociadas con esta entidad son el adenocarcinoma de pulmón, otros adenocarcinomas, linfomas, leucemias, mieloma, carcinoma de páncreas, estómago, mama, colon y cérvix. Presentamos un caso de Endocarditis trombótica no bacteriana en válvulas aórtica y mitral con embolias cerebrales, esplénicas y renal como primera manifestación de un adenocarcinoma pulmonar.


Non bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is characterized by the presence of non infected vegetation in aortic or mitral valves associated with systemic arterial emboli. Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is a common complication of neoplastic diseases: adenocarcinoma of the lung, another adenocarcinomas, myeloma, lymphoma, leukemia, carcinoma of the pancreas, breast, cervix, colon and stomach. We report a case of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis localized in the aortic and mitral valves and systemic emboli as the first manifestation of adenocarcinoma of the lung.
