Metastatic cancers to the heart are uncommon but occur up to 20 to 40 times more frequently than primary tumors of the heart. Cardiac metastases from lung cancer are rarely diagnosed ante mortem and usually cause no symptoms or signs. In this case report cardiac metastasis from a primary adenosquamous cancer of the lung presented as myocardial infarction in a 61-year-old man. His diagnosis was made and confirmed via multimodality imaging of the heart, which is also reviewed in depth.
心脏转移性癌症并不常见,但发生频率比原发性心脏肿瘤高20至40倍。肺癌的心脏转移在生前很少被诊断出来,通常没有症状或体征。在本病例报告中,一名61岁男性因原发性肺腺鳞癌的心脏转移表现为心肌梗死。通过心脏多模态成像对其进行了诊断和确认,本文也对该成像进行了深入回顾。
