Key result
A patient with stage-4 vulvar carcinoma presented with acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation caused by multiple, large, hyperechogenic metastatic masses in both ventricles.
Why the study?
Biventricular metastatic heart tumors from gynecological malignancies presenting as ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome are an unusual finding.

Biventricular metastatic heart tumors from gynecological malignancies can rarely present as acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation, identifiable by echocardiography.
Biventricular metastatic heart tumors from gynecological malignancies presented as an acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation are an unusual finding. We present a case of stage-4 vulvar carcinoma that metastasized in both the left and right ventricle. The particularity of the case is the echocardiographic aspect in the emergency room: multiple, large, hyperechogenic masses disseminated in the myocardium, with pericardial extension, in context of acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation.

Pârv et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation secondary to biventricular metastatic heart tumors (n=1). Biventricular metastatic heart tumors was evaluated. A patient with stage-4 vulvar carcinoma presented with acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation caused by multiple, large, hyperechogenic metastatic masses in both ventricles.
