Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis With Underlying Ovarian Carcinoma Resolving With Oncologic Treatment

Abstract

The treatment of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis consists of anticoagulation, surgical consideration and treatment of the underlying disease, most commonly lupus or malignancy. We report a case of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis presumably caused by underlying ovarian carcinoma that was controlled with anticoagulation and resolved with chemotherapy and surgical resection of the malignancy.
