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.
