A Rare Case of Trousseau Syndrome‐Related Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Caused by Mucinous Ovarian Carcinoma
ABSTRACT
Background
Trousseau syndrome (TS)–related nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) caused by ovarian cancer has rarely been reported. Although primary tumors and cardiac lesions can be treated surgically, there has been a rising concern regarding the use of anticoagulants in the treatment of TS.
Method
The clinical data and course of Trousseau syndrome‐related NBTE in a case of mucinous ovarian carcinoma treated in Shenzhen People's Hospital in 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed.
Conclusions
We report a rare case of Trousseau syndrome‐related nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis attributable to mucinous ovarian carcinoma. Timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis.
