These tumors can lead to life\u2010threatening complications, and their diagnosis is typically delayed.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Objective:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This paper is aimed at reviewing two distinct cases of metastatic cardiac tumors, shedding light on diagnostic challenges, clinical presentations, and management approaches.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We present two cases of patients with metastatic melanoma and undifferentiated malignant spindle cell neoplasm, respectively. Diagnostic imaging, including echocardiography and PET scans, was used to identify the cardiac masses, and biopsy results provided histopathological confirmation. Treatment plans involved systemic immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical resection.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In both cases, cardiac metastases were detected through advanced imaging, despite the patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms like abdominal pain and shortness of breath. The metastatic tumor in one patient responded to immunotherapy before surgical excision, while the other patient, in advanced stages, opted for supportive care.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Cardiac metastasis should be considered in cancer patients who present with unexplained cardiac symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach, including imaging and biopsy, is crucial for accurate diagnosis. Despite aggressive treatment, the prognosis remains poor, emphasizing the need for early detection and better therapeutic strategies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crom\/7374561","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,24]],"date-time":"2025-05-24T08:34:28Z","timestamp":1748075668000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges of Cardiac Metastasis in Advanced Malignancies: A Case Series and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1914-0054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moath","family":"Albliwi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3758-0024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aravinthan","family":"Vignarajah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nishanthi","family":"Vigneswaramoorthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayham Mohammad","family":"Hussein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asfand Yar","family":"Cheema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5313-9992","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shimoli","family":"Barot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gautam","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","first-page":"1027","article-title":"Tumors of the Heart.
