MRI findings of cardiac metastasis of primary lung cancer

Cardiac metastasis is a rarely seen entity. Transthoracic
echocardiography results may not always be sufficient for the
diagnosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays
an important role in the differential diagnosis, in defining the
borders and invasion of the mass lesion and in demonstrating
the effects of the mass on cardiac functions. Cardiac MRI findings
of a right ventricle metastasis in a 64-year-old male with
primary lung cancer are presented in this paper.
