ABSTRACT
Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC), is a rare and aggressive form of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounting for around 1% of all renal malignancy. It affects younger patients and is associated with rapid progression, distant spread and poor prognosis. Cardiac metastases from all types of RCC, without involvement of the inferior vena cava are very rare. We present the case of a 54 year old man with a history of CDC, who presents with collapse and ventricular tachycardia secondary to multifocal cardiac metastases. We are not aware of any other reports in the literature of CDC and cardiac metastases.
