Abstract:
We present a case of carcinoid heart disease and cardiac metastases discovered during a myocardial infarction in a 64 years-old woman who was treated for carcinod of the thymus. The patient died eight months after the diagnosis and we present the result of the autopsy. From the study of this case we review the knowledge related to carcinoïd disease and those associated with cardiac metastases.
