“…In the other case, the cytodiagnosis suggested malignancy. 4,5,7 In our case, symptoms were similar to previously reported cases. Plain chest radiography showed a "water bottle" heart, and echocardiography was useful to evaluate pericardial effusion.…”

“…Including the present case, 14 cases of symptomatic cardiac metastases from UC have been reported so far: 7 bladder cancers and 7 renal pelvic cancers. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] (Table-1). There have been 3 reported cases of cardiac tamponade from urothelial carcinoma.…”

A 53-year-old man presented for further evaluation due to microscopic hematuria and left lumbar pain. Computed tomography revealed a large tumour in the left renal pelvis with multiple metastases. Despite effective systemic chemotherapy, he developed dyspnea, and was diagnosed with cardiac tamponade. Pericardial involvement in an advanced malignancy is common, but symptomatic cardiac metastasis from urothelial carcinoma is rare. Of the reports of symptomatic cardiac metastasis from urothelial carcinoma, only 3 cases presented as cardiac tamponade. We report here a rare case of cardiac tamponade caused by a renal pelvic carcinoma with positive cytodiagnosis of pericardial effusion. We also summarize and discuss the symptoms, treatment, and prognosis of the pathological condition, and present a brief review of previously published reports.

“…This corresponds to 200 tumors in 1 million autopsies. 6 Malignant melanomas are considered to be the tumors that most frequently metastasize to the heart (50% of all malignant metastatic heart tumors), 1,7,8 followed by tumors of the lung, breast tumors, the thyroid gland, and kidney carcinoma as well as leukemia and lymphomas. 4 They arise mainly from the interatrial septum and expand into the left atrium.…”

Although most fatal lung tumors are well diagnosed before a patient's death, occasionally forensic pathologists encounter cases of sudden death in which the presence of a primary small cell lung carcinoma was not suspected. We present the case of a 49-year-old man asymptomatic until 2 days before his death. The autopsy revealed a huge tumorous mass originating from the central bronchus, infiltrating the large vessels, pulmonary parenchyma, pericardium, and the right ventricle of the heart. Pericardial sac was distended due to pericardial effusion (700 mL). Examination also revealed metastases to the liver, pancreas, and right adrenal gland. Microscopic examination identified the primary neoplasm as a small cell lung carcinoma after common stain of hematoxylin-eosin, and additional immunohistochemistry were performed.
