Imaging of cardiac metastatic melanoma: trans-oesophageal echocardiography or magnetic resonance imaging?

Two cases of isolated cardiac metastatic melanoma are described. Images from the first case using magnetic resonance scanning were complimented by the clearer images obtained with trans-oesophageal echocardiography in the second case. Trans-oesophageal echocardiography may be the technique of choice...

Zusammenfassung:	Two cases of isolated cardiac metastatic melanoma are described. Images from the first case using magnetic resonance scanning were complimented by the clearer images obtained with trans-oesophageal echocardiography in the second case. Trans-oesophageal echocardiography may be the technique of choice to image intra-cardiac metastatic tumours.
