title: Primary embryonal carcinoma of heart with SVC syndrome.
abstract: We present a case report of a 25-year-old man with embryonal carcinoma of right atrium and multiple lung metastases featuring SVC syndrome. We resected the cardiac tumor which occupied the right atrium and performed left upper lobectomy. No tumor mass or vestige was detected in the testes. Cis-platinum based combination chemotherapy was performed for residual lung tumors, which leads to the complete remission.
