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...

We describe the clinical scenario, the management and we perform a brief littérature review. |
