ABSTRACT
We report a case of a resection of very large intracavitary metastatic malanoma causing obstruction of the right ventricular inflow and outflow tract of the heart. A 49-year-old woman with dyspnea and generalized edema was seen. Echocardiography reveal an intra cavitary mass occupying the entire right ventricle and pericardial effusion. The lesion was palliatively resected using a cardiopulmonary bypass and was confirmed as a malignant melanoma. The patient is alive and improved symptomatically 30days after the operation.
