On metastatic heart cancer

Abstract

Primary and secondary tumors of the heart are the rarest of all generally benign and malignant neoplasms of the human organism, and therefore each new case is of interest because of the clinical features with which it is accompanied. The following case deserves attention not only because of the localization of the neoplasm in the myocardium, but also because of the extraordinary multiplicity of metastases, apparently originating from the pancreas.
