Right ventricular metastasis of endometrial carcinoma: a case report.
Although between 5 and 20% of cancer deaths have cardiac metastasis at postmortem examination, pelvic malignancy is a seldom-reported primary source. Endometrial carcinoma rarely results in distant metastasis. A patient is described who presented with a large symptomatic right ventricular metastasis 15 months after a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for Stage I poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus.
