Abstract

Intracavitary metastasis is an uncommon secondary cardiac malignancy and metastasis to the right atrium and ventricle is even less common. Prior reports have demonstrated an association of this disease entity with sudden death. We report a recent experience of intracavitary cardiac metastasis of a primary hepatoma in a 24-year-old woman who presented with a exertional dyspnea and a syncopal episode.
