  • Title: Transesophageal echocardiography of right atrial metastasis of a hepatocellular carcinoma.
    Author: Van Camp G, Abdulsater J, Cosyns B, Liebens I, Vandenbossche JL.
    Journal: Chest; 1994 Mar; 105(3):945-7. PubMed ID: 8131572.
    Abstract:
    Antemortem diagnosis of cardiac metastases of a hepatocellular carcinoma is rarely observed. In a 52-year-old female patient with a history of posthepatitic cirrhosis and partial hepatectomy, transthoracic echocardiography brought to light a mass in the right atrium. After location and characterization of the tumor by transesophageal echocardiography, a transvenous biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastasis of a hepatocellular carcinoma.
