[Cardiac metastasis secondary to digestive adenocarcinoma. A case report].
The authors report a case of cardiac metastasis revealing a malignant tumor of the biliopancreatic junction. This observation raises the problem of the diagnosis of revealing metastases. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies may help to diagnose and identify primary tumors. This identification plays a major role predicting the prognosis and determining an optimal treatment.
