Endometrial malignancy is the most common gynecologic cancer in developed countries.1 Metastasis to the pelvic and para-aortic nodes is common. The most usual sites for distant metastasis are lungs, liver, brain, and bones.2 Cardiac metastasis of infradiaphragmatic tumors are much less frequent. We report a very rare case of metastatic cardiac mass involving the right ventricle secondary to endometrial cancer.

Background: The accurate identification of reflux points in the study of primary varicose veins of the lower limbs is important in the therapeutic approach of these patients. Objective: To evaluate the association between insufficiency of the anterior perforator vein of the knee and great saphenous vein insufficiency in patients with primary varicose veins of the lower limbs. Methods: The study included 886 patients, corresponding to 1,772 lower limbs, in patients older than 18, of both sexes, undergoing superficial venous mapping using vascular ultrasound. Results: The mean age of the patients was 46.1 ± 14.5 and 81.7% were females. Great saphenous vein insufficiency was found in 38.8% of the cases. Insufficiency of the anterior perforator vein of the knee was found in 146 lower limbs (8.2%), with a mean diameter of 1.7 ± 0.15 mm, prevailing in the infrapatellar area (86.4%). The anterior tributary vein of the great saphenous vein originated leg reflux in 34%, with a direct relation of this tributary vein with the anterior perforator vein of the knee in 79.4%. An association between the presence of anterior perforator vein of the knee and great saphenous vein insufficiency (p = 0.0001) and male gender (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There was an association between insufficiency of the anterior perforator vein of the knee and great saphenous vein insufficiency in patients with primary varicose veins of the lower limbs at vascular ultrasound, and the accurate identification of this perforator vein may be important in the therapeutic approach of these patients.

Regarding cardiac involvement, the clinical presentation is variable: from asymptomatic conditions, electrocardiogram (ECG) with non-specific abnormalities, presence of arrhythmias, myocarditis and Takotsubo syndrome.4-7 Another form of cardiac involvement is related to anticholinesterase.8 In MG, the number of available Ach receptors is decreased, and the use of anticholinesterase decreases Ach degradation and promotes a greater supply of Ach to the receptors. Frequent adverse effects of this medication are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and nausea. A severe yet less common effect is chest pain. This may mimic an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) caused by the vasoconstriction that Ach is capable of causing in coronary arteries with endothelial dysfunction.
