Abstract :

Cardiac metastases are rare entities dependent of cervix, but even if this progression corresponds to endocardium which represents a incidence of 6.8% of 1.6 to 8% of all heart metastases, reported in cases of cardiac cancer with metastases, it is lower regarding location in atrial chambers. Patient of 39 year old diagnosed with early cervical cancer with metastatic progression to left atrium is reported. This case was developed after clinical examination of a patient who presented recurrent cardiac syncope, particularly electrocardiographic examination, has not been documented cardiac treatment before progression; however we focus on the primary clinical diagnosis and palliative treatment early.
