Key result
Complete AV block can be the first sign of recurrent oral cavity cancer with intracardiac invasion.
Why the study?
Intracardiac invasion of head and neck cancer is extremely rare, and complete AV block as an initial manifestation of recurred oral cavity cancer with cardiac metastasis is not well documented.
Population

Complete AV block can serve as an initial manifestation of recurred extracardiac cancer with intracardiac invasion.
Cho et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Recurred oral cavity cancer with cardiac metastasis (n=1). Recurred oral cavity cancer with cardiac metastasis was evaluated. Complete atrioventricular block can be an initial manifestation of the recurrence of oral cavity cancer with intracardiac invasion.
