Abstract

A 58-year-old woman presented with respiratory problems 6 months after she had had a squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity resected. We found on computed tomography a large lesion in the cardiac muscle. There were no abnormalities in the electrocardiogram. The patient died 7 days later and necropsy confirmed a solitary metastasis in the myocardium that originated from a squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth.
