The relationship between cancer and an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is well documented. VTE is a common complication of cancer, which usually occurs in the advanced stages of the disease. It often manifests itself before the cancer has been diagnosed and frequently is the first symptom of malignancy. In particular, pulmonary embolism is a major epidemiological problem because of its prevalence and high mortality. This article contains a review of the literature on VTE and occult cancer. It indicates the problem of a lack of an effective diagnostic strategy for malignancy in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism.

We present a case of 68-year-old female with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and locally advanced breast cancer disqualified from mastectomy due to heart failure and from aortic valve replacement due to malignant neoplasm. The patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy without anthracyclines. The aortic valve replacement was performed and then mastectomy and lymphadenectomy were made without hemodynamic complications. Adjuvant hormonotherapy was started. During 42 months of follow-up the patient remained free of recurrent cancer disease as well as no progression of heart failure was observed.
