摘要

Testicular malignancies rarely metastasize to the heart. Cardiac metastases often herald disseminated disease. It can manifest either in a synchronous or metachronous setting. We present a rare case of cardiac metastasis from embryonal cell carcinoma in a 28-year-old gentleman whose symptoms improved after chemotherapy. A high index of suspicion in those presenting with predominantly chest-related symptoms. Multidisciplinary care with early involvement of cardiologists/cardiac surgeons is important to optimize outcomes.
