dc.description.abstractNonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a valvular disorder commonly associated with malignancy and connective tissue diseases. While the disorder is often discovered during autopsy, it is sometimes diagnosed in patients who present with systemic embolization. Here, we discuss the case of a 52-year-old female, with connective tissue disease and malignancy, who presented with symptoms of systemic embolization and was diagnosed with NBTE by transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). This case highlights the utility of TEE in diagnosing NBTE and its influence in guiding the subsequent management of patients.en
