title: An unusual right ventricle metastasis from mandible squamous cell carcinoma detected on FDG PET/CT.
abstract: A patient with history of mandible squamous cell carcinoma underwent an FDG PET/CT scan. A focal hypermetabolic right ventricle lesion was noted and suggestive of metastasis. A cardiac MRI verified the right ventricle wall mass. Further endomyocardial biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
