Metastatic tumors of the heart are more frequent when compared with the primary tumors. Among them the most common are the carcinomas. Autopsy series demonstrate secondary cardiac tumors to be 20 to 40 times more frequent than the primary masses. When a patient with a known carcinoma, being either treated or not treated, presents with the symptoms of heart failure and cardiyomegaly during the course of the disease, cardiac metastasis of the tumour should be considered in the first order. In this article, we present a patient who presented with the symptoms of heart failure and found to have most probably metastasis to the right ventricle by transthoracic echocardiography. The patient had undergone surgical treatment in 2006 for bazal cell carsinoma that developed on marjolin ulcer basis on the right leg.
