Abstract

Authors report the case of 37 years old women after radiotherapy for spinocelular cervical carcinoma 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 embolism. Echocardiography, although limited by the discrimination ability, seems to be the best method for the cardiac metastasis detection.
