Background:
Cardiac metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is an exceptional event, particularly when there is lack of inferior vena cava involvement. Only a few cases have been reported worldwide so far.
Case Presentation:
We presented a case of a 58-year-old man diagnosed with isolated right ventricular metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in the absence of direct inferior vena cava extension, who underwent surgical tumor resection using cardiopulmonary bypass.
Conclusions:
Surgical resection of the cardiac mass with an understanding of the pathology is needed to prevent sudden death from acute heart failure or tumor embolism and improve the patient's quality of life.
