Abstract
Cardiac metastases are rare. They are found in one to 10% of autopsies of patients withmalignant neoplasm. Adenocarcinoma represents the most common histologicaltype. The most common neoplasms that metastasize to the heart are lung andbreast cancers, melanoma, mesothelioma and lymphoma. However, Cardiacinvolvement is unusual in Hepatic, cutaneous and gastric cancer. We reportedthese three primary localizations in our cases.
