Cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer warrants vigilance despite rarity; leaves open optimal imaging to distinguish intracavitary masses from thrombus.
Case Report (n=1)
Multimodality imaging is crucial for diagnosing intracavitary cardiac masses, especially when initial presentation mimics pulmonary embolism and fails to respond to standard therapy.
Kalvakuri et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Metastatic right ventricular mass (n=1). Metastatic cervical cancer to the right ventricle was evaluated on Clinical outcome. A 49-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of pulmonary embolism was diagnosed with a rare metastatic right ventricular mass from cervical cancer, emphasizing the need for multimodality imaging.
