Metastasis to the left atrium is exceptionally uncommon, occurring at a rate of only 3.1%. The clinical manifestations of lung cancer metastasizing to the heart can vary widely. They range from paraneoplastic syndrome, dyspnea, and ST-segment elevation on an electrocardiogram to no clinically significant symptoms. Diverging from typical metastatic patterns observed in lung cancer, this case report presents a detailed description, from the perspective of the microenvironment, of a rare instance where lung cancer metastasized to the mediastinal lymph nodes, adrenal glands, brain, and notably, the left atrium, in a non-smoking female patient.
转移至左心房极为罕见,发生率仅为3.1%。肺癌转移至心脏的临床表现差异很大。从副肿瘤综合征、呼吸困难、心电图ST段抬高到无临床显著症状不等。与肺癌中观察到的典型转移模式不同,本病例报告从微环境的角度详细描述了一例罕见病例,即一名非吸烟女性患者的肺癌转移至纵隔淋巴结、肾上腺、脑,尤其是左心房。
