“The Rhythm of Cancer” – Unexpected Autopsy Finding in a Patient with Gastric Ulceration
By: J. Ananiev, M. Hadzhi and K. Ivanova
Abstract
Malignant tumors of the heart are rare. Even rarer, however, are metastases to the heart from cancers originating from the gastrointestinal tract. This case report involves a 63-year-old patient who presented into the clinic with a gastric ulcer and subsequent haemorrhage, and who died after sudden cardiac arrest. Autopsy revealed a metastatic involvement of the heart muscle from low-grade carcinoma of the stomach, as well as many other organ metastases.
