title: Two-dimensional echocardiographic abnormalities of right atrial metastatic tumors in hepatoma.
abstract: We describe two patients suffering from hepatoma who presented with right atrial metastatic tumors as a result of invasion of the inferior vena cava and extension into the right atrium. Two-dimensional echocardiographic studies detected the right atrial tumor during life in both patients and the invasion of the inferior vena cava in one patient.
