Surgical resection of asymptomatic RV mass reveals metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Renal cell carcinoma can metastasize to the right ventricle and present as an asymptomatic cardiac mass.
Consider RCC metastasis in asymptomatic right ventricular masses; extends known sites but single case leaves implications open.
Here we report a case of asymptomatic right ventricular tumor, for which surgical removal was done. Pathology reveals that the mass is a metastasis of a renal carcinoma.

Zaïri et al. (2015) studied this question. Pathological examination of a surgically removed, asymptomatic right ventricular tumor revealed it to be a metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma.
