Cardiac metastatic malignant melanoma

Malignant metastatic tumors of the heart were first described by Boneti in 1700. In 1867, Prudhomme first reported a case of metastatic melanoma metastases to the heart. Due to advances in diagnostic technology and increased autopsy, the number of reported cases has gradually increased. Cardiac metastases are not widespread and often have no clinical manifestations, even those with severe myocardial destruction have insignificant clinical manifestations. Dyspnea or shortness of breath, tachycardia, systolic murmur, edema, pericardial effusion, etc. are also common symptoms.
