Deskripsi
A 66-year-old man with locally advanced malignant melanoma, which was surgically resected, presented with a 3-week history of dizziness, recurrent near-syncopal episodes and generalized weakness. He was found to have sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in the setting of cardiac melanoma. We draw attention to an unusual presentation of malignant melanoma with cardiac metastasis and discuss both its etiology and treatment options.
