Abstract:
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a malignant tumor with a poor prognosis and a frequent metastatic extension. In very rare cases, a cardiac metastatic disease may occur, and surgical resection is essential for its management. MR-guided stereotactic radiotherapy is an attractive radiotherapy modality for the treatment of mobile thoracic tumors, enabling the target to be monitored continuously during irradiation, while the dosimetric plan can be adapted daily if necessary. We report here the case of a patient with intracardiac metastasis secondary to malignant adrenocortical carcinoma, treated with magnetic resonance imaging-guided stereotactic radiotherapy.
