Cardiac Metastasis From Renal Cell Carcinoma

While metastasis is common, it is unusual for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to spread to the heart and even more so without involving the inferior vena cava (IVC). In fact, only a few cases have been reported where RCC has metastasized to the heart without IVC invasion. There have been only a few cases...

description While metastasis is common, it is unusual for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to spread to the heart and even more so without involving the inferior vena cava (IVC). In fact, only a few cases have been reported where RCC has metastasized to the heart without IVC invasion. There have been only a few cases published that show RCC metastasis to the heart without invasion through the IVC. Here, we present an interesting case of a patient that was found to have RCC metastasis to the lungs that had a direct invasion to the left atrium.
