Background: Right ventricular metastasis from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is very rare and only seen in few case reports. Patients with cardiac metastasis have a poor prognosis with a median survival period of 4 weeks due to the lack of standardized and effective treatment guidelines. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the feature and treatment of cardiac metastasis through literature review and reporting of an unusual case. Case: We reported a case of a 67 years-old man diagnosed as right ventricular metastasis from esophageal squamous cell with the help of echocardiography and pathological biopsy. Moreover, the patient survival period reached an astonishing 6 months, which far exceeded 4 weeks reported in previous literature. Methods: We searched for relevant literature in the past decade on PUBMED and summarized the content of the literature to better clarify cardiac metastasis. Conclusion: Cardiac metastatic likely to occur in the elderly and in the right side of heart which related to hemodynamics. Surgical resection of metastatic tumors is the main treatment method, but patients usually die during the perioperative period due to its complexity and difficulty. Meanwhile, we have proposed some potentially effective treatment measures.

“…Metastatic cardiac tumors are a rare occurrence, typically identi ed post-mortem. The incidence reported in the literature is about 1.23%, while in patients with cervical cancer it is only 0.3% [1,2]. The clinical manifestation of cardiac metastasis of cervical cancer is insidious, and it is often detected when patients present with symptoms of heart failure or pulmonary embolism [3].…”

Heart metastasis in cervical cancer is an exceptionally uncommon occurrence. Given the early onset of obscure clinical presentations and complex imaging features of cardiac tumors, cases diagnosed before death are exceedingly rare. In this report, we present a case of cervical cancer with cardiac tumor metastasis diagnosed pre-mortem, and conducted a review of the current literature. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) The incidence of cardiac metastasis is influenced by clinical stage and treatment modality at initial diagnosis. (2) The prognosis for patients with cervical cancer heart metastasis is poor, and those with severe complications struggle to accrue benefits from active treatment. (3) When cervical cancer patients present with unexplained dyspnea, cardiac color ultrasound and enhanced chest CT should be performed to rule out tumor cardiac metastasis.

Purpose Cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer is rare and only scarcely documented. We aim to present a new case and systematically summarize the available literature. Materials and methods PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Central, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria. Results were screened via title, abstract, and full text. Additionally, the reference lists of all papers chosen for the review were screened. Results Eighty-one papers were identified, describing 86 cases in total. Cardiac metastasis occurred at all stages of cervical cancer and in all age groups. Median time from initial diagnosis to diagnosis of cardiac metastasis was 12 months. Patients mainly complained of dyspnea and chest pain, 60.8% had pathologic ECG (electrocardiographic) findings. The cardiac mass was most frequently detected by transthoracic echography. The most common tumor histology was squamous cell carcinoma. Chemotherapy and surgical interventions were the main treatment modalities. Median survival after diagnosis of cardiac metastasis was 3 months. Conclusion This largest review on cardiac metastases from cervical cancer confirmed the heart as a very infrequent site of metastasis. There are < 100 cases described in the literature, with very poor prognosis and undefined clinical management.
