Key result
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis caused by underlying ovarian carcinoma was controlled with anticoagulation and resolved with chemotherapy and surgical resection.
Case Report (n=1)
Treatment of the underlying malignancy (ovarian carcinoma) along with anticoagulation can lead to the resolution of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis.
May support anticoagulation plus malignancy therapy for NBTE in ovarian cancer; leaves optimal strategy open for prospective study.
The treatment of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis consists of anticoagulation, surgical consideration and treatment of the underlying disease, most commonly lupus or malignancy. We report a case of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis presumably caused by underlying ovarian carcinoma that was controlled with anticoagulation and resolved with chemotherapy and surgical resection of the malignancy.

Patel et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis with underlying ovarian carcinoma (n=1). Anticoagulation, chemotherapy, and surgical resection was evaluated on Resolution of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis. Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis caused by underlying ovarian carcinoma was controlled with anticoagulation and resolved with chemotherapy and surgical resection.
