[Secondary cardiac localizations in different cancers. Comparison of clinical, electrocardiographic and autopsy data. Apropos of 51 cases].

The authors have investigated 910 post-mortem examinations of different primary cancers. Fifty-one cases (5.6% of the autopsies) presented cancer lesions of the heart. They have found the accuracy of clinical and paraclinical diagnostics by comparing them with autopsy findings in case of pericardial lesions, but very rarely in case of myocardial location.
