Abstract

Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) denotes the presence of sterile non-infective vegetation
on structurally normal, or subtly degenerate cardiac valves and is often associated with advanced
malignancies. In gynaecological cancer in particular, NBTE has been most commonly associated
with ovarian cancer.1,2 Here we report a rare but interesting case of NBTE in a patient with locally
advanced cervical adenocarcinoma.
