ABSTRACT
Carcinoid tumors are uncommon neuroendocrine tumors that produce high levels of serotonin and are mainly located in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary system but very rarely in the mediastinum. These are slow-growing tumors that most commonly present metastatic lesions in the liver, followed by the bones, lungs, and peritoneum. Solid cardiac metastases from carcinoid tumors have seldom been reported. In this case report, we present a patient with a rare localized metastasis in the left ventricle with an antecedent history of resected carcinoid tumor of the anterior mediastinum.
