【 摘 要 】

Tumour emboli are rare and usually end-stage manifestations of malignancy. They generally carry poor prognosis. Even rarer is the tumour emboli presenting as the first manifestation of an underlying malignancy. We take this opportunity to report a case of tumour emboli as the first presentation of a malignancy, occurring in a 58-year-old male, for its rare occurrence.
