Key result
Echo and CMR incidentally detect rare asymptomatic LV metastasis from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
Why the study?
Cardiac tumors are relatively uncommon, mostly secondary to other primary tumors, and typically detected incidentally due to being clinically silent.
Population
A 71-year-old man with metastatic laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
Design

Cardiac metastases merit consideration in cancer patients with masses; extends laryngeal carcinoma patterns but remains hypothesis-generating.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the importance of considering cardiac metastases in the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses in patients with underlying malignancy, even when asymptomatic.
Elshiekh et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma with cardiac metastasis (n=1). Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was evaluated. A 71-year-old man with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was incidentally found to have a rare asymptomatic left ventricular myocardial metastasis detected by echocardiography and confirmed by CMR.
