title: Metastatic cardiac tumor manifested by persistent ST-segment elevation with coexisting reciprocal changes on electrocardiography.
abstract: In cases with metastatic invasion of the heart, electrocardiographic abnormalities are commonly seen. However, most of these electrocardiographic changes are nonspecific; certain findings may be highly suggestive of myocardial involvement of the tumor. We report a patient with lung cancer who presented with persistent ST-segment elevation with coexisting reciprocal changes on electrocardiography due to myocardial invasion of the lung cancer.
