Métastase cardiaque d’un adénocarcinome pulmonaire mimant un myxome atrial

Secondary cardiac tumors constitute a rare and severe pathology usually associated with an advanced-stage of the primary cancer and consequently correlated to dark prognosis. Clinical presentations are variable and potentially misleading. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman in whom initial ec...

Sumario:Secondary cardiac tumors constitute a rare and severe pathology usually associated with an advanced-stage of the primary cancer and consequently correlated to dark prognosis. Clinical presentations are variable and potentially misleading. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman in whom initial echocardiographic presentation evocated left atrial myxoma though the final diagnosis was pulmonary adenocarcinoma invasion. We describe the clinical scenario, the management and we perform a brief littérature review.
