Abstract

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a clinical disorder which can end up with mortally in the elderly. PTE usually presents with cardiopulmonary symptoms. Atypical presentations among elderly patients can delay PTE diagnosis causing serious complications. Here we present a 71 years old man who admitted with loss of appetite,
weight loss and constipation and diagnosed with PTE without any pulmonary symptoms.
