Lung cancer masquerading as prosthetic valve endocarditis
Lung cancer masquerading as prosthetic valve endocarditis
Although marantic endocarditis secondary to pulmonary adenocarcinoma is well described, it is very unusual for this symptom to be the initial presenting feature of lung cancer. Here we describe such a case in which marantic endocarditis affected not only the patient's native mitral valve, but also his newly implanted bioprosthetic valve--a phenomenon that has not been previously reported

Abstract
Although marantic endocarditis secondary to pulmonary adenocarcinoma is well described, it is very unusual for this symptom to be the initial presenting feature of lung cancer. Here we describe such a case in which marantic endocarditis affected not only the patient's native mitral valve, but also his newly implanted bioprosthetic valve--a phenomenon that has not been previously reported
