Urothelial carcinoma in a few cases may result in cardiac metastasis. A rare presentation of this condition is its diagnosis as a result of cardiac tamponade. Tamponade is an unusual entity as a result of urothelial carcinoma and has only been reported in four cases. There have also been only a total of fifteen cases of cardiac metastasis from this form of malignancy. It is through this discuss...

Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart. Complete surgical removal of the myxoma is usually curative. However, low incidence of recurrence and metastasis has been reported with the brain being the most common site of cardiac myxoma metastasis (1). We report a rare case of delayed multiple cerebral metastases from the completely resected cardiac myxoma without evidence of loc...

BACKGROUND Although cardiac cancer of the remnant stomach and primary cardiac cancer both occur in the same position, their clinical characteristics and outcomes have not been compared previously. The objective of this study was designed to evaluate the prognosis of cardiac cancer of the remnant stomach in comparison with primary cardiac cancer. METHODS In this retrospective comparative study...

•Cardiac metastasis is a rare manifestation of trophoblastic malignancy•Previous cases have exclusively been reported in choriocarcinoma histology•Our case describes cardiac metastasis, as part of disseminated disease, from an intermediate trophoblastic tumor.•Our patient initially responded systemically to chemotherapy for a brief duration•However, she died from CNS failure 4½ months after dia...

We described a case of a 54-year-old male who presented with dizziness and dyspnea due to cardiac metastasis of leiomyosarcoma. Cardiac metastasis of leiomyosarcoma caused both bradyarrhythmia and tachyarrhythmia in the patient. He was treated with implantation of a permanent pacemaker for management of complete atrio-ventricular block and anti-arrhythmic drug that suppressed ventricular tachyc...

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is an uncommon soft-tissue neoplasm, which is commonly found in the deep soft tissues of the extremities, with a propensity for recurrence and metastasis. However, the metastasis of ASPS to the heart is exceedingly rare. The present study reports such a rare case with cardiac metastasis. Using computed tomography, a 37-year-old man was diagnosed with brain, lun...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary tumor of the liver.(1,2) The most common extrahepatic metastatic sites are lung, abdominal lymph nodes and bone, while its cardiac metastasis is rare.(2,3) Metastasis of HCC into the cardiac cavity is mostly caused by direct tumor invasion of vena cava inferior with continuous extension into the right cardiac cavity.(4,5) Right heart met...
