Résumé
A 60-year-old man had received octreotide for a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in the rectum. Computed tomography and ultrasonography revealed a cardiac tumor, diffuse thickness of the ventricular wall and pericardial effusion, which was diagnosed as cardiac metastasis. The metastatic lesions continued to grow despite the alteration of chemotherapy, and the patient complained of repeated syncope and was admitted to our hospital at 11 months after the diagnosis of cardiac metastasis. An electrocardiogram during syncope showed sustained ventricular tachycardia, which was considered to be caused by the cardiac metastasis. We herein report a case of NET with cardiac metastasis which caused lethal arrhythmia along with a review of the pertinent literature.
