Özet

Metastatic tumors are the most seen cardiac tumors. According to studies, lung and breast cancers are the most common cancer that metastasizes to myocardium. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver tumor, and myocardial involvement is very rare [1-5]. Here we present a case of myocardial metastasis in a patient who had history of hepatocellular carcinoma.
