Late isolated metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma to the right ventricle

We present an exceedingly rare case of solitary metastasis of mucinous adenocarcinoma occupying 80% of the right ventricle and involving tricuspid valve, discovered 17 years after a diagnosis and treatment of a colon cancer. The patient's clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management are detailed. This case provides evidence that late metastasizing colonic carcinoma and ventricular location of metastasis can and do occur.
