Cardiac metastasis, Cervical cancer, Squamous cell carcinomaAbstract
Background: Cervical cancer cardiac metastasis is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. It has been reported that the disease often is more detected at autopsy and has no standardized treatment options.
Case presentation: Here, we report a patient with cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer who initially suffered nonspecific symptoms, such as chest tightness.
Conclusion: A review of cases of cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer in over a decade was performed. Pretreatment data were provided for such matters, which may be helpful for diagnosis and treatment in the future.
