资源简介:
Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is well-documented in the literature to occur in patients with known malignancies. It is, however, much less common for patients to be diagnosed with marantic endocarditis as the presenting sign of an unknown primary malignancy. We discuss a case in which a patient was undergoing routine surveillance for his known heart failure with a transthoracic echocardiogram when an aortic valve vegetation was discovered. After further investigation, he was found to metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung. Next generation sequencing was utilized to identify an EGFR mutation, which lead to the patient being treated with Osimertinib. Adequate treatment of his primary malignancy, along with anticoagulation, lead to overall clinical improvement of the patient.
