Left Atrial Metastases of Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Diagnosed by Echocardiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging—Case Report and Review of Literature
2012
Intracardiac metastases of thyroid carcinoma are a rare event. Their incidence is low in large autopsy series, and antemortem diagnosis is even less common. We present the case of a woman with advanced poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma who had extensive intracardiac metastases. This case highlights the usefulness of echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cardiac metastases. (Echocardiography 2012;29:E30-E33)
