Popis: Metastatic melanoma is an aggressive and rapidly progressive disease. Heart metastases were shown in over 50% of autopsy. However, these metastases are usually clinically silent and reported in less than 2% of living patients1.2. There are no specific guidelines for the treatment of cardiac metastases as the therapeutic approach varies with the clinical features of the patient. This article is protected by copyright.
