Cardiac metastasis from oral SCC may mimic STEMI; single case leaves open prevalence and screening implications.
Patel et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Solitary cardiac metastasis from primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (n=1). Cardiac metastasis from oral squamous cell carcinoma was evaluated on Diagnosis and clinical course. A patient presenting with STEMI-like symptoms was diagnosed with an isolated right ventricular metastasis from primary oral squamous cell carcinoma.
