Description
Ahmed Saleh and colleagues present a rare case of heart attack with an unusual cause. No blood clot was to blame. Instead, tumour tissue broke loose and lodged in a heart artery. Their patient was a forty-nine-year-old man with metastatic melanoma. Tumour emboli from the cancer entered his coronary arteries. The result was a heart attack across the front and side walls of the heart. The case reminds clinicians that heart attacks in patients with spreading cancer can have this cause.
