Abstract

A patient with bronchogenic carcinoma had an electrocardiogram that was initially thought to be consistent with myocardial infarction and possible left ventricular aneurysm. A heart scan with radioactive ²⁰¹thallium showed an area of sharply diminished uptake ('cold spot'); however, subsequent thoracotomy showed that this was caused by local pericardial and myocardial infiltration by tumor. This suggests a role for radioactive ²⁰¹thallium in the detection of cardiac metastatic tumors.
