Intra-Atrial Tumor Embolus in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma with a massive tumor embolus in the right atrium is reported. Although hepatocellular carcinoma often invades into portal and hepatic vein and may extend into the inferior vena cava, it is rare that the tumor grows out to fill the right atrium. The literature on the intracardiac metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma as well as other carcinomas is reviewed.
