A Case of Tumoral Acute Coronary Syndrome - Case Report and Literature Review.

Cardiovascular disease and cancer constitute the most prevalent illnesses worldwide. Cancer patients show an increased risk of coronary artery disease not only due to shared cardiovascular risk factors, a pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic state induced by cancer itself, the cardiovascular toxicity of cancer therapy, or rarely, due to extrinsic compression of a coronary artery by the primary tumor or a metastatic lesion. Here, we present the case of a 59-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung presented with asymptomatic diffuse ST segment depression and troponin T increase.
