Key result
Multimodality imaging successfully diagnosed a rare intracardiac metastasis of testicular seminoma, which demonstrated significant size reduction after 2 weeks of chemotherapy.
Why the study?
Intracardiac masses are uncommon, and cardiac metastasis of a testicular seminoma is extremely rare, requiring multimodal imaging for accurate diagnosis.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Multimodality imaging is essential for the accurate diagnosis of rare intracardiac metastases, enabling prompt and effective chemotherapy.

Rare cardiac seminoma metastasis expands intracardiac mass differential in young men; leaves open optimal surveillance and management strategies.
Hohmann et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Intracardiac metastasis of testicular seminoma (n=1). Multimodality imaging and chemotherapy (cisplatin, etoposide, bleomycin) was evaluated on Diagnosis and reduction of metastasis size. Multimodality imaging successfully diagnosed a rare intracardiac metastasis of testicular seminoma, which demonstrated significant size reduction after 2 weeks of chemotherapy.
