摘要
We present a case of small cell lung carcinoma causing acute cardiovascular collapse due to pulmonary tumour emboli. Although pulmonary tumour emboli may complicate a number of malignancies, this is rarely seen in cases of carcinoma of the bronchus. Patients suffering with pulmonary tumour emboli often have previous symptoms, and show progressive dyspnoea. To our knowledge there have been no reports of tumour emboli presenting acutely without any previous history of symptoms. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Karger AG. Basel.
