“…Reviewing the published reports, the prognoses in these patients were quite poor despite combined modality therapy, an operation for a renal cell carcinoma and a metastatic cardiac mass with immunotherapy. Including our case, inoperable cases of right ventricular metastasis resulted in death within one month after diagnosis of cardiac metastasis 4,6,8 . Incomplete resection of the right ventricular tumor led to a rapid regrowth and death within several months (Table 1).…”

Cardiac metastases from renal cell carcinoma without vena caval involvement are extremely rare. We report 49-year-old man who presented symptoms of heart failure and thrombocytopenia. Computed tomography and echocardiography revealed a left renal tumor and a right ventricular mass without vena caval involvement. His symptoms progressed rapidly and he died at nine days following diagnosis of the right ventricular tumor.
