Marantic Endocarditis in Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Marantic endocarditis is a rare condition associated with autoimmune disease, malignancy, and hypercoagulable states. It is characterized by sterile friable vegetations composed of fibrin and platelets that confer a high risk of systemic embolism. Here we showcase imaging that led to the diagnosis of an interesting case of marantic endocarditis secondary to metastatic malignancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
