Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Metastasis to heart develops rarely as the initial presentation of a malignancy. Most of the cases remain silent clinically and are diagnosed during autopsy. Heart is affected 20 to 40 times more frequently by metastasis than by primary tumors. The most common metastatic malignancies to heart are carcinoma of lung and breast, leukemia and malignant lymphoma.1 Postmortem studies show cardiac metastases in upto 25% of patients who have died of malignancy, however, antemortem presentation is rare.2 A 40 yr old male was brought dead to hospital with previous medical history of prolonged jaundice. Postmortem examination was conducted and viscera were sent for histopathological examination.
