Abstract
We report an unusual metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the right cardiac ventricle in a 53-year-old man who presented with increasing dyspnea. Diagnostic evaluation revealed a left renal tumor without contiguous extension into the inferior vena cava and a right ventricular mass. To our knowledge this is only the second reported case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the right cardiac ventricle diagnosed ante mortem. We discuss the case and review the literature.
