Kardiyak metaztaz yapmış akciğer kanseri olgusunda MRG bulguları

Abstract

Kardiyak metaztaz nadir görülen bir durumdur. Tanıda transtorasik ekokardiyografi (EKO) her zaman yeterli sonuç vermeyebilir. Metastatik kitlenin özellikle trombüsten ayrımında, kitlenin sınırlarının, yayılımının tanımlanmasında ve kardiyak fonksiyona etkilerinin gösterilmesinde kardiyak manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) önemli rol oynar. Bu yazıda, 64 yaşındaki akciğer kanseri olgusunda sağ ventrikül metaztazının kardiyak MRG bulguları sunuldu.

MRI findings of cardiac metastasis of primary lung cancer

Abstract

Cardiac metastasis is a rarely seen entity. Transthoracic echocardiography results may not always be sufficient for the diagnosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the differential diagnosis, in defining the borders and invasion of the mass lesion and in demonstrating the effects of the mass on cardiac functions. Cardiac MRI findings of a right ventricle metastasis in a 64-year-old male with primary lung cancer are presented in this paper.
