A rare case reveals cardiac tamponade from myocardial metastasis in an elderly male post-radical nephrectomy, indicating unusual cancer spread.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) commonly metastasizes to the lung, bone, and liver. Cardiac metastasis, especially in the absence of IVC involvement, is considered extremely rare. We report an 81‐year‐old male with a history of clear cell RCC who underwent radical nephrectomy, and 10 years later, he presented with acute cardiac tamponade secondary to pathologically confirmed late myocardial metastasis.
