title: Cardiac metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: We report a case with right intraventricular metastasis of colon carcinoma which was diagnosed antemortem by the use of magnetic resonance imaging. Metastatic colon carcinoma of the heart is a rare diagnosis, and an uncommon finding at autopsy. We conclude that MR imaging is a valuable method for the diagnosis of the heart tumors.
