TI  - Electrocardiographic changes in right ventricular metastatic cardiac tumor 
      mimicking acute ST elevation myocardial infarction: A case of misdiagnosis.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: In patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 
      minimizing the reperfusion time is the goal of therapy worldwide. However, the 
      differential diagnosis is critical and when a patient is encountered with chest 
      pain and ST elevation, STEMI should not be the only diagnosis considered. By 
      detailed history and focused physical examination, it is possible to avoid a 
      mistaken diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we present a case of a 
      male patient with tongue cancer and accompanying myocardial metastasis that 
      causes electrocardiographic changes, who was initially misdiagnosed with ST 
      elevation myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION: Here, we reported a case of 
      metastatic cancer in the heart which was initially diagnosed as acute myocardial 
      infarction. Echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging 
      of the heart were used accordingly to confirm the myocardial metastasis.
