In patients with cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction or aortic dissection without known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, neoplastic disease should be considered as a differential diagnosis. In this report, we present a case of a 51-year old man with previously undiagnosed non-small lung cancer leading to fatal cardiovascular complications due to hemovascular spread, diagnosed post-mortem. This case illustrates the value of autopsy in unexpected deaths.
在患有心血管事件的患者中,如心肌梗死或主动脉夹层且无已知心血管疾病风险因素时,应考虑将肿瘤性疾病作为鉴别诊断。在本报告中,我们呈现了一例51岁男性病例,该患者此前未被诊断出患有非小细胞肺癌,因血管播散导致致命的心血管并发症,尸检后确诊。该病例说明了尸检在意外死亡中的价值。
