Resumo

O carcinoma hepatocelular com extensão ou mestástases para a aurícula direita é uma forma de doença cardíaca maligna pouco frequente.

Os autores relatam o caso de um doente de 51 anos de idade a quem foi diagnosticado carcinoma hepatocelular com trombos a nível das veias porta e mesentérica, cuja análise histopatológica revelou ser compatível com metástases. O ecocardiograma revelou uma massa na aurícula direita que, neste contexto, deve ser considerada como possível metástase cardíaca.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma with extension or metastasis to the right atrium is an uncommon form of cardiac malignancy.

The authors report the case of a 51-year-old patient with hepatocellular carcinoma and thrombi in the portal and mesenteric veins, which histopathology revealed to be metastatic. Echocardiography showed a right atrial mass which in this context has to be considered as a possible cardiac metastasis.
