The great invasion, a case of lung mass invading the heart through the pulmonary veins.

The heart is a rare site of metastatic lesions of malignancies. Cardiac metastasis may go unrecognized till autopsy, and about half of all newly diagnosed lung cancer patients have metastasis to another organ. Due to the absence of early symptoms, the clinical diagnosis of cardiac metastasis is challenging. Even when they are symptomatic, these symptoms may be masked by the clinical features of primary cancer. Noncardiac neoplasms may spread to the heart through lymphatic or hematogenous dissemination, local extension, or a transvenous route. Here, we report a case of a 56-year-old male with lung mass extending from the right upper lobe to the left atrium was associated with mass effect on superior vena cava and left brachiocephalic vein.
