Abstract
Intracardiac metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma are rare and can be asymptomatic. They are most often discovered following an assessment of the extension of the primary lesion or during an autopsy. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient admitted for edema of the lower limbs associated with digestive disorders, in whom we discovered a right intra-atrial mass initially suggestive of a thrombus. However, an abdominal contrast tomography scan revealed in our patienta hepatocellular carcinoma, and in that context the diagnosis of an intracardiac metastasis of hepatocellular carcinomawas suggested. Given the advanced oncological stage of the tumor, the patient was treated by an anticoagulation and was referred to palliative care.
