Abstract:
We present the case of a 67-year-old patient, asymptomatic, with a prior diagnosis of amelanotic cutaneous melanoma with positive ganglions (2002), who was referred for thoracic-abdominal-pelvic computed tomography (CT) as part of routine follow-up (2007). The CT revealed a mass in the right atrium cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was practiced to characterize the mass.

01:30Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

02:30Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
