About half of all patients with malignant melanoma have cardiac metastases. Histological confirmation antemortem of a secondary malignant melanoma of the heart is difficult. The diagnosis of a secondary melanoma in the right atrium was confirmed by transvenous biopsy in a 46 year old woman who had had a melanoma excised from her right leg two years before.
大约一半的恶性黑色素瘤患者会发生心脏转移。生前对心脏继发性恶性黑色素瘤进行组织学确诊很困难。一名46岁女性两年前右腿的黑色素瘤已切除,通过经静脉活检确诊其右心房存在继发性黑色素瘤。
