Abstract

We present the case of a 60-year-old male patient who was admitted to our hospital after experiencing a syncopal episode. First ECGs showed sinus rhythm with polymorphic premature ventricular complexes and later ventricular tachycardia with a left bundle branch block morphology were recorded. Imaging with TEE and MRI revealed a space-occupying lesion in the left ventricle, which was ultimately identified as a rare cardiac metastasis of renal cell carcinoma. Treatment was initiated with monoclonal antibodies resulting in lesion regression. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic in patients with history of malignancy.
