[A case of lung cancer with myocardial metastasis with ECG suggestive of myocardial infarction].
A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of chest pain on Sep. 26, 1991. ECG revealed myocardial infarction-like ST-elevation in II, III, aVF, V4, V5, and V6 but coronary angiography revealed no abnormal findings in the right and left coronary arteries, and no elevation of SGOT, LDH or CPK was found. Chest CT scan, UCG and chest MRI revealed a tumor invading into myocardium in the left cardiophrenic angle. Myocardial scintigraphy revealed a cold area in the inferior wall. Histologically, the tumor was squamous cell cancer. In spite of treatment, the patient died due to heart failure on Feb. 8, 1992. Myocardial metastasis showing a myocardial infarction-like ECG has been rarely reported.
