title: Cardiac metastasis from renal cell carcinoma in cardiac CT.
abstract: Cardiac metastases from RCC in the absence of transvenous spread are rare. We present a case of cardiac metastases from RCC demonstrating usefulness of cardiac CT in planning surgical management, which provides superior spatial resolution for evaluation of relationship between the tumor and coronary arteries.
