Solitary Cardiac Metastasis from Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix 
Ziembová J., Schildberger J., Dvořák R., Pohanka I., Semrád, B. 

 


Summary:

       Authors report the case of 37 years old women after radiotherapy for spinocelular cervical carci- noma which was presented by a solitary metastasis in the right ventricle causing right ventricle output tract obstruction. Cardiosurgical intervention as well as chemotherapy were not indicated for the great extension of cardiac involvement. The patient died from a massive pulmonary embo- lism. Echocardiography, although limited by the discrimination ability, seems to be the best method for the cardiac metastasis detection.

        Key words: Spinocelular carcinoma of the cervix - Solitary cardiac metastasis - Echocardiogra- phy.
