[Right ventricle metastasis from a colonic cancer: Diagnosis by using endomyocardial biopsy]

Abstract

The diagnosis of cardiac tumors has been dramatically improved by modern cardiac imaging. In cases presenting with right intracavitary mass the diagnosis can rely on right endomyocardial biopsy. We report here a case of right ventricle tumor whose diagnosis was established as a colonic metastasis by using right endomyocardial biopsy.
