Tumour embolisms are rare and in most cases sudden causes of death. Diagnosing this rare condition is still very challenging in the daily clinical routine. In this report we present a case of a lethal sudden pulmonary tumour embolism in a 71-year-old male patient, who was admitted for elective invasive coronary angiography due to suspected coronary artery disease. The patient had suspected Ormond's disease and no previous history of tumour burden. Possible diagnostic and treatment options are discussed herein and an overview of the current literature is also presented.
肿瘤栓塞很少见,在大多数情况下是猝死的原因。在日常临床实践中,诊断这种罕见疾病仍然极具挑战性。在本报告中,我们介绍了一例71岁男性患者发生致命性突发性肺肿瘤栓塞的病例,该患者因疑似冠状动脉疾病入院接受选择性侵入性冠状动脉造影。该患者疑似患有奥蒙德病,既往无肿瘤病史。本文讨论了可能的诊断和治疗选择,并对当前文献进行了综述。
