Abstract EN
Left atrial invasion by lung cancer via haematogenous pathways is a relatively uncommon but potentially life-threatening event.
While several cardiac complications of cardiac involvement have been previously described, the evolution towards cerebral stroke has been rarely reported.
In this case report, we describe an atypical case of haematogenous metastatic invasion of the left atrium from pulmonary neoplasm extension presenting as an ipsilateral stroke whose ASCO classification changed during the clinical management.
