Right upper pulmonary vein metastasis from hepatocarcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metastatic tumor involvement of the heart is uncommon but may occur with all types of primary neoplasms. We report the case of a 51-year-old male who developed a massive mass involving the upper right pulmonary vein. The tumor was removed and the final pathology report disclosed metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma affecting the pulmonary veins is a very rare condition.

متن کاملLower pulmonary veins are likely to have a pulmonary vein thrombus
Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) was hypothesized as rare. However, since 2014, I have published several cases of PVT in elderly patients with chest pain using 64-slice multidetector computed tomography [1–10]. In 2014, I reported that 61% (35 patients) of 57 elderly patients had PVT [9], suggesting that PVT is common in elderly patients with chest pain; however, the pulmonary vein that is likel...
