“…Endobronchial ultrasoundguided transbronchial needle aspiration yielded inconclusive results. Subsequent mediastinoscopy revealed lymph node metastases in the right paratracheal region (4R) and subcarinal region (7), consistent with a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma (TTF1+). P40 was negative, PDL1 was at 1%, and it was classified as cT1aN2M0, stage IIIa according to the eighth TNM classification.…”

Introduction: Cardiac metastasis (CM) is a rare lung cancer location. It often remains clinically silent but may cause life-threatening complications. Better survival rates thanks to the immunotherapy revolution and the improving performance of imaging lead to an increasing number of CM diagnosis. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 54-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a stage IIIa non-small cell lung cancer. She developed a right ventricular CM without symptoms during treatment by immunotherapy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of an endocavitary lesion in the right ventricle apex. Complete surgical resection through a right ventriculotomy was performed. Conclusion: The diagnosis of similar cases has become more frequent due to immunotherapy and more advanced imaging technology. Our case report also highlights the fact that CM surgery has to be considered as a successful therapeutic option in those oligo-progression situations. Guidelines on the management and treatment of lung cancer CM are needed as well as larger studies to evaluate the survival benefit from surgical treatment.

“…Recent articles on CM removal and survival in non-small cell lung cancer are scarce. A few cases of CM removal in lung cancer and one in esophageal cancer suggest a potential survival benefit [6,7]. Minimally invasive resection methods have shown promise.…”

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.
