Microscopic pulmonary tumour embolisms (MPTE) are a rare but life-threatening phenomenon in patients with a history of adenocarcinoma. Due to the nonspecific symptoms, diagnostic difficulty, and rapid progression, this condition is often fatal. We describe two patients who previously completed breast cancer treatment, and now present with fatal MPTE and we provide a comprehensive review of the literature.
微小肺肿瘤栓塞（MPTE）在有腺癌病史的患者中是一种罕见但危及生命的现象。由于症状不具特异性、诊断困难且进展迅速，这种情况往往是致命的。我们描述了两名先前完成乳腺癌治疗、现因致命性MPTE就诊的患者，并对相关文献进行了全面综述。
