Abstract

Melanoma is an aggressive neoplasm mainly affecting the skin. It has a predisposition to metastasis and it presents the highest propensity to spread to the heart, mostly through the hematologic route. Cardiac metastases frequently remain asymptomatic, even though the metastatic process to other organs is described as an advanced stage of the melanoma. Treatment methods include conservative and surgical management. Surgeries should be preferably performed at the early stages of the disease, when physicians can achieve total resections with clear margins. In some cases palliative procedures are also implemented. In 26 patients analyzed in this review, eleven cases presented favorable results of the surgery. In majority of the patients the diffuse metastatic disease led to their decease despite the surgery.

心脏转移性黑色素瘤的手术治疗。
黑色素瘤是一种侵袭性肿瘤,主要侵犯皮肤。黑色素瘤有转移倾向,最容易通过血液途径转移到心脏。尽管向其他器官的转移过程被描述为黑色素瘤的晚期阶段,但心脏转移瘤常常没有症状。治疗方法包括保守治疗和手术治疗。手术最好在疾病的早期阶段进行,此时医生可以进行边缘清晰的全切除。在某些情况下,也会采取姑息治疗。在本综述分析的26例患者中,有11例手术效果良好。在大多数患者中,尽管进行了手术,但弥漫转移性疾病还是导致了他们的死亡。
