Rationale: Primary pulmonary meningioma (PPM) is extremely rare tumor and only a few reports have been reported to date. PPM may be overlooked when it coexists with other types of tumors in the lung. It is essential to have a knowledge of the clinicopathological features of PPM and to recognize this rare coexistence.Patient concerns: A 57-year-old male underwent surgery for papillary renal cell carcinoma, when 2 pulmonary nodules were detected using chest computed tomography.Diagnosis: The coexistence of benign PPM and metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma was histologically confirmed.Interventions: A lobectomy was performed.Outcomes: The patient recovered well after surgery and was discharged on postoperative day 4.Lessons: Duo to the rarity of PPM, it is easily overlooked, especially when it coexists with other tumors in the lung. The possibility of PPM needs to be taken into account when diagnosing pulmonary nodules in clinical practice.

While metastasis is common, it is unusual for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to spread to the heart and even more so without involving the inferior vena cava (IVC). In fact, only a few cases have been reported where RCC has metastasized to the heart without IVC invasion. There have been only a few cases published that show RCC metastasis to the heart without invasion through the IVC. Here, we present an interesting case of a patient that was found to have RCC metastasis to the lungs that had a direct invasion to the left atrium.

Cardiac metastases occur in a significant proportion of cancer patients and profoundly affect clinical outcomes and management strategies, especially in esophageal cancer, where the metastasis typically targets the left heart due to its unique lymphatic spread. Diagnostic imaging is crucial for patients with cardiac symptoms or electrocardiogram (EKG) changes, as it significantly influences treatment decisions, including the operability of the primary tumor and the risks associated with left-sided metastasis, such as the potential for embolization leading to stroke. This case report provides a detailed analysis of esophageal cancer metastasizing to the left atrium, highlighting diagnostic challenges and discussing the appearance of cardiac metastasis across various imaging modalities. The report examines the advantages and limitations of each imaging technique, offering insights into their roles in accurate diagnosis and effective management in complex clinical scenarios.
