Young patients presenting with thrombotic events like pulmonary embolism and cardiological phenomenon such as presence of an intracardiac mass, without any underlying risk factors, should be promptly investigated for thrombophilias including antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS). This case is reported to highlight rare occurrence of co-existing bilateral extensive pulmonary embolism and an intra-cardiac mass at presentation of antiphospholipid syndrome as well as progression to near catastrophic APLS.
年轻患者出现诸如肺栓塞等血栓形成事件以及诸如心内肿块等心脏现象,且无任何潜在风险因素时,应迅速对包括抗磷脂综合征(APLS)在内的易栓症进行调查。报道该病例是为了突出抗磷脂综合征患者出现时并存双侧广泛肺栓塞和心内肿块的罕见情况,以及进展为近乎灾难性的抗磷脂综合征。
