Abstract

We operated on a 34-year-old man with a metastatic tumor that extended from the tricuspid valve to the pulmonary valve and obstructed the right ventricle inflow and outflow tracts. The tumor was removed with preservation of the tricuspid valve. Additional chemotherapy was carried out according to the BEPO (etoposid, eisplatin, bleomycin, vincritin) scheme. Histology revealed metastasis of a choriocarcinoma originating from the right testis. Computed tomography performed after 6 months detected no metastases in the lungs. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a thickened right ventricle free wall and apex. The patient is doing well 18 months postoperatively.
