Metastatic uterine cervical cell carcinoma to myocardium

Clinical Nuclear Medicine
V F AnticoB L Lloyd

Abstract

Metastatic involvement of the myocardium is a rare premorbid diagnosis. Multiple examinations were performed on a 43-year-old woman who presented with ischemic chest pain, palpitations, and nausea. Twelve months previously, a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix was removed with no evidence of metastases or residual tumor. Following numerous investigations, a provisional diagnosis of cardiac tumor was made. At operation, involvement of the septum, inferior wall, and apex with some extension into the distal anterior wall was noted. Histology confirmed nonkeratinizing cell carcinoma in keeping with metastases from the uterine cervix.
