description Embolic material forms in many parts of the body and can affect anywhere in the body. Pulmonary embolism and embolic stroke are the most common presentations of embolic disorders in the body. Embolic events have different causes, and the heart is one of the most important places where emboli originate. One of the uncommon causes of embolic events is non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE), which can occur in patients with advanced cancer. NBTE can lead to embolism. Embolisation may occur in some organs including the central nervous system, kidneys, spleen, limb extremities, and coronary arteries. The authors aim to describe a rare case with concurrent pulmonary embolism (PE) and embolic stroke caused by non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) in a woman with breast cancer.
