Key result
A 49-year-old woman with uterine cervical cancer presented with cardiac arrest and was diagnosed antemortem with a rare right ventricular metastasis, ultimately succumbing to brain metastases.
Why the study?
Cardiac metastasis of uterine cervical cancer diagnosed prior to mortality is extremely rare, and establishing the diagnosis poses a challenge in clinical practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac metastasis from uterine cervical cancer is extremely rare but can present as life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer may cause arrest; this case leaves open whether targeted cardiac imaging aids staging or prognosis.
Stojanović et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Uterine cervical cancer with right ventricular metastasis (n=1). Right ventricular metastasis was evaluated. A 49-year-old woman with uterine cervical cancer presented with cardiac arrest and was diagnosed antemortem with a rare right ventricular metastasis, ultimately succumbing to brain metastases.
