Respirol Case Rep. 2024 Mar 25;12(3):e01336. doi: 10.1002/rcr2.1336. eCollection 2024 Mar.

Abstract

Existence of poorly differentiated tumour cells or paraneoplastic hypereosinophilia indicates extensive disease progression and poor prognosis in patients with malignancy. When these conditions are present, it is necessary to consider the possibility of intracardiac metastasis even in cases of lung adenocarcinoma.

Keywords: adenocarcinoma; cardiac metastasis; hypereosinophilia; lung cancer; pembrolizumab.
