When Is Resection of a Cardiac Tumor With Metastatic Disease Acceptable?
Metastatic disease is a relative contraindication for resection of malignant cardiac tumors. However, certain situations may present themselves when primary cardiac resection may be warranted. We present a 21-year-old male diagnosed with metastatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with right ventricular outflow tract involvement for whom surgical resection was successfully performed and discuss strategies.
