    Author: Vlenterie M, Desar IM, van Herpen CM, Tol J.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 2014 Jan; 72(1):28-31. PubMed ID: 24457436.
    Abstract:
    Microscopic pulmonary tumour embolisms (MPTE) are a rare but life-threatening phenomenon in patients with a history of adenocarcinoma. Due to the nonspecific symptoms, diagnostic difficulty, and rapid progression, this condition is often fatal. We describe two patients who previously completed breast cancer treatment, and now present with fatal MPTE and we provide a comprehensive review of the literature.
