[Metastatic Right Ventricular Tumor Eleven-year after Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma]

Metastatic heart tumors make up the majority of heart tumors and are 20 to 40 times more frequent than primary heart tumors. Cardiac metastasis of renal cell carcinoma is often asymptomatic until advanced stage, and there are few reports of surgical tumor resection for metastatic heart tumors at very late term. We experienced a case of metastatic right ventricular tumor eleven-year after nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Tumor resection was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest, but the tumor on the free wall of the right ventricle trabeculae could not be completely resected. After surgery, the patient underwent chemotherapy for residual tumor, which is growing.
