a very singular development for this cancer type&#46; Cardiac metastases appear in the course of recurrent intrahepatic neoplasm&#44; with no other repetitive lesions&#46; Cardiac metastases can appear during local recurrence&#44; via blood dissemination&#46; In this type of patient&#44; who exhibited cardiac symptoms&#44; health practitioners should investigate the presence of metastases in the cardiovascular system&#46; Thus&#44; in patients with a history of HCC&#44; it is advisable to perform careful evaluation of cardiac structures to exclude early metastasis&#46; HCC can metastasize to an &#8220;abnormal&#8221; place&#44;

Any diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopa-thy &#40;or recent onset of related symptoms&#41; in the course of HCC should be considered a &#8220;red flag&#8221; and investigated in order to exclude metastasis from infiltrative HCC&#46;
