Abstract: | We describe a case of subacute cor pulmonale caused by tumor embolism from a gallbladder carcinoma in a 63-year-old woman. The patient was admitted to hospital with increasing dyspnea. Physical examination and echocardiography showed signs of pulmonary hypertension. She died of circulatory failure. At autopsy microscopic studies revealed tumor embolism in the pulmonary vessels and subsequent lesions causing the lethal pulmonary hypertension. This is the first case report of pulmonary hypertension caused by embolism from a gallbladder carcinoma in the literature worldwide. |
