Abstract

A case of previously undiagnosed cervical carcinoma metastatic to the right ventricular cavity and the central and peripheral pulmonary arteries is presented. The usefulness of ultrafast computed tomography in comparison with echocardiography for the evaluation of suspected metastatic diseases to the heart and pulmonary arteries is discussed.
