Abstract
We report an unusual metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the right card iac ventricle in a 53-year-old man who presented with increasing dyspn ea. Diagnostic evaluation revealed a left renal tumor without contiguo us extension into the inferior vena cava and a right ventricular mass. To our knowledge this is only the second reported case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the right cardiac ventricle diagnosed ante mor tem. We discuss the case and review the literature.
