Abstract
A 48-year-old woman was referred to the cardiology department due to a large mobile mass in the right ventricle. The patient had undergone radical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for a uterine squamous cell carcinoma approximately 3.5 years before. In order to protect the patient from circulatory collapse, the intracardiac mass was resected surgically. A diagnosis of cardiac metastasis of the uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed histologically. Herein we discuss the possible therapeutic approach to and prognosis of this rare condition by reviewing 24 papers on intracardiac uterine cancer metastasis published in the past 10 years.
