Key result
Surgical resection of a right ventricular mass in a 40-year-old woman with stage IVB cervical cancer confirmed rare cardiac metastasis, though the patient died one week postoperatively from complications.
Why the study?
Heart metastasis in cervical cancer is exceptionally uncommon, and pre-mortem diagnosis is exceedingly rare due to obscure clinical presentations and complex imaging features.

Pre-mortem cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer remains rare; this case leaves open optimal surveillance and management strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer is rare and carries a poor prognosis, highlighting the need for cardiac imaging in patients presenting with unexplained dyspnea.
