Abstract
The association between cancer and thrombosis has been known for a long time, and the majority of the thromboembolic events associated with cancer are usually diagnosed after the cancer being identified [1]. However, a thromboembolic event may precede the identification of a cancer and maybe the first manifestation of the underlying malignancy.

The association between cancer and thrombosis has been known for a long time, and the majority of the thromboembolic events associated with cancer are usually diagnosed after the cancer being identified [1]
Carcinoma is the most common cause of ischemic stroke associated with malignancy [3] with lung cancers being the most common [1,4] while adenocarcinoma confers a higher risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) [5]
We report a case of recurrent embolic strokes resistant to anticoagulation as the first manifestation of poorly differentiated carcinoma (PDC) of unknown etiology
Summary
