Abstract
Myocardial metastasis from oesophageal cancer is very rare, and is usually detected as part of widespread metastases in the
terminal stage. It is rare to detect a solitary metastasis. We present a case of solitary myocardial metastasis from distal
oesophagus complicated by ventricular fibrillation.
Keywords: myocardial metastasisoesophageal cancerechocardiography
