摘要
Background Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare condition marked by sterile vegetations on cardiac valves, often linked to rheumatologic diseases, autoimmune disorders, and advanced solid malignancies. An early diagnosis and treatment of the associated clinical condition are mandatory, although they do not usually eliminate valvular vegetations, making anticoagulation essential to prevent embolic events. Despite variability, the prognosis of NBTE is usually unfavorable due to recurrent embolic events and the severity of the primary condition, typically advanced cancer.Case presentation We present a case of a 57 years-old male who presented to the emergency department with a 5-day history of painful bilateral digital edema and color change episodes (from pallor to cyanosis). Physical examination revealed erythrocyanosis in the distal extremities, prompting consideration of secondary Raynaud syndrome. Despite medical therapy, progressive digital ischemia led to multiple finger amputations. During etiological investigation, anticoagulation tests and autoimmune analysis yielded negative results. A transesophageal echocardiogram was performed, revealing an irregular hyperechogenic mass on the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve without valve dysfunction, and a thoracic computed tomography scan with contrast showed an enlarged right paratracheal lymph node. Histopathological analysis from a transthoracic needle biopsy of the paratracheal lymph node revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient underwent aggressive R-CHOP chemotherapy, achieving a favorable complete response.Case presentation We present a case of a 57 years-old male who presented to the emergency department with a 5-day history of painful bilateral digital edema and color change episodes (from pallor to cyanosis).

Histopathological analysis from a transthoracic needle biopsy of the paratracheal lymph node revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient underwent aggressive R-CHOP chemotherapy, achieving a favorable complete response.Conclusion This is a particular case involving the occurrence of NBTE and Raynaud phenomenon as the initial paraneoplastic manifestations in a previously healthy young man. Reports of NBTE associated with lymphoproliferative conditions are quite rare, with fewer than ten cases described in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case of NBTE specifically associated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
