Five cases of neoplastic pulmonary embolism are reported in whom the clinical presentation was consistent with acute cor pulmonale. Perfusory lung scintigraphy was negative in all the cases. Four patients died within 7 days, one after 30 days from starting of symptoms. At autopsy in all the cases neoplastic diffuse embolization of pulmonary arteries was seen with or without thrombosis. In two cases lymphatic carcinosis was also evident. In the literature the majority of cases are reported to have a subacute clinical course as compared to the acute clinical evolution of our series. We suggest to keep in mind the diagnostic hypothesis of vascular pulmonary carcinosis in the cases of acute cor pulmonale with negative perfusory lung scintigraphy.
