Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Cardiac Metastases.

JACC Case Rep

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Wayne State University, Detroit Medical Center, Detroit, Michigan, USA.

A 60-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue had atypical chest pain and mild troponin elevation. No significant electrocardiogram changes or arrhythmias were noted. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed several myocardial metastases with pericardial involvement, confirmed by positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Cardiac metastases are the most frequent cardiac tumors. They can cause dysrhythmia, myocardial dysfunction, pericardial effusion, and heart failure. In decreasing order, the major primary malignancies associated with cardiac metastases are pleural mesothelioma, lung adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinomas, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and breast carcinoma.

Background: Optimal management of checkpoint inhibitor-induced complete heart block is unknown. Previous reports showed relatively high incidence of pacing failure due to the co-existing myocarditis.

Case Summary: A 71-year-old male with a prior history of stage IV metastatic squamous cell lung cancer presents was admitted for dyspnoea and hypotension 10 days after checkpoint inhibitor treatment using pembrolizumab.

Article Synopsis
  • Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are prevalent cancers that can spread to other parts of the body, but heart metastasis from HNSCC is rare and poses serious treatment challenges.
  • Cardiac metastasis is linked to a poor prognosis, and there is no standardized approach for diagnosing and treating these cases due to their infrequency.
  • The article discusses a specific case of cardiac metastasis from buccal squamous cell carcinoma, which was unexpectedly discovered using an advanced imaging technique called FDG PET/CT.

Cardiovascular disease and cancer constitute the most prevalent illnesses worldwide. Cancer patients show an increased risk of coronary artery disease not only due to shared cardiovascular risk factors, a pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic state induced by cancer itself, the cardiovascular toxicity of cancer therapy, or rarely, due to extrinsic compression of a coronary artery by the primary tumor or a metastatic lesion. Here, we present the case of a 59-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung presented with asymptomatic diffuse ST segment depression and troponin T increase.
