ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT CONTEXT Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract due to metastatic disease is rare. Clinical recognition of cardiac metastatic tumors is rare and continues to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. CASE REPORT We present the case of a patient who had severe respiratory insufficiency and whose clinical examinations revealed a giant tumor mass extending from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options.

CONCLUSION:

In patients presenting with acute right heart failure, right ventricular masses should be kept in mind. Transthoracic echocardiography appears to be the most easily available, noninvasive, cost-effective and useful technique in making the differential diagnosis.
RESUMO
RESUMO

CONTEXTO:

A obstrução da via de saída do ventrículo direito devido a doença metastática é rara. O reconhecimento clínico de tumores cardíacos metastáticos é raro e continua a apresentar um desafio diagnóstico e terapêutico. RELATO DO CASO Apresentamos o caso de um paciente com insuficiência respiratória grave e cujos exames clínicos revelaram massa de tumor gigante, estendendo-se desde o ventrículo direito até a artéria pulmonar. Discutimos as opções diagnósticas e terapêuticas.

CONCLUSÃO:

Em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca direita aguda, massas do ventrículo direito devem ser mantidas em mente. Ecocardiografia transtorácica parece ser a técnica mais facilmente disponível, não invasiva, custo-efetiva e útil no diagnóstico diferencial.
