  • Title: [Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma: right atrial tumor as primary clinical manifestation. Case report].
    Author: Afonso DV, Laranjeira A, Galrinho A, Fragata J.
    Journal: Rev Port Cir Cardiotorac Vasc; 2008; 15(2):79-81. PubMed ID: 18923776.
    Abstract:
    In patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, the incidence of cardiac metastasis is 0.67-3%. The prognosis is dismal, even with curative resection, being survival at 5 years around 12-39%. We report an unusual case of a 51 year old man, presenting with a mass in the right atrium, diagnosed on histopathologic examination as being metastasis from a hepatocellular carcinoma. Urgent surgical intervention was required due to hemodynamic instability.
