Abstract
Oncologic disease and concomitant treatment are among the main triggers for Takotsubo syndrome. A clinical case of Takotsubo syndrome in cancer is presented. Thyroid carcinoma and thyroidectomy contributed to the development of Takotsubo syndrome. The clinical manifestations are similar to those of acute myocardial infarction. Coronarography is important in the differential diagnosis. Patients with cancer are at high risk of developing Takotsubo syndrome and should be under close clinical observation. A patient with Takotsubo syndrome should be hospitalized in an intensive care or cardiac intensive care unit. The management and treatment of patients with this pathology should be discussed by a multidisciplinary team.
