Abstract

Direct extension of tumor thrombus from the pulmonary veins into the left atrium is reputed to be rare and to have been first reported in 1865. This study draws attention to one case published in 1833 and contributes three cases found in 100 lung cancer necropsies. Thus, it is likely that this entity, whose chances of detection are probably increased by removing the lungs and heart in continuity, is not rare.
