Heart metastases and superior vena cava syndrome

Abstract

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) may be due to a tumour infiltrating the right atrium. We present two patients with SVCS. The first one was secondary to solitary atrial metastases of rectal adenocarcinoma and benefited from palliative chemotherapy. The second patient had a disseminated large cell B-cell lymphoma with rapid clinical complete response, but she eventually died after relapse.
