“…Although hardness of malignant tumor was actually measured only in a few studies, but Sato et al reported that hardness of intraoral squamous cell carcinoma was 2.3-19.1 times of that of normal tissue. 17) The embolus removed from this patient was also elastic and hard compared with that of intracardiac thrombus usually encountered. Regarding the procedure, recanalization could not be acquired by Solitaire alone, ADAPT using Penumbra, or the Solitaire/Penumbra-combined technique, and the embolus was only slightly moved toward the periphery.…”

We report a case of cerebral infarction with mechanical reperfusion therapy for tumor embolism caused by lung cancer. Case Presentation: The patient was a 72-year-old man. We performed emergency mechanical thrombectomy alone for acute left internal cerebral artery (ICA) occlusion and achieved complete reperfusion at the fifth pass with Trevo 4 × 20 mm. Pathologically, the embolus was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. In chest contrast CT, lung cancer invaded the left atrium and pulmonary vein, diagnosed as tumor embolism by this invading tumor. Conclusion: We experienced a very rare case of tumor embolism caused by lung cancer. Although it was difficult to re-canalize, the strut structure of Trevo and push and fluff technique may have been effective against the hard embolus.
