Аннотация
OBJECTIVES: Metastases to the heart are rare. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the base of tongue secondarily complicated with cardiac metastasis 6 months after surgical treatment resulted in successful local control.
METHODS: The lesion was found using computerized axial tomography in a patient with minimal cardiologic symptoms.
RESULTS: The patient died shortly due to complications of his metastatic disease. No curative treatment was possible.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac metastasis should be suspected when new cardiovascular symptoms are observed in patients with a history of head and neck neoplasm. The prognosis of the condition typically is inevitably fatal.
