Key result
A 56-year-old male presented with a large lung mass extending from the right upper lobe to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins, highlighting a rare case of transvenous cardiac metastasis.
Why the study?
Cardiac metastasis from malignancies is rare, often asymptomatic or masked by primary cancer features, making clinical diagnosis challenging.

May prompt multimodality imaging for cardiac extension in lung cancer; leaves open frequency and management of transvenous metastases.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights a rare presentation of lung cancer directly invading the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, emphasizing the importance of multimodality imaging in detecting cardiac involvement.
Roman et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Lung cancer with cardiac metastasis (n=1). Radiation therapy and dexamethasone was evaluated. A 56-year-old male presented with a large lung mass extending from the right upper lobe to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins, highlighting a rare case of transvenous cardiac metastasis.
