Very rarely, those tumors can metastasize to the heart and cause cardiac involvement of the tumor. This study presents a very rare case of secondary cardiac tumor affecting the left ventricle from a metastatic carcinoid tumor originating from the small intestine without carcinoid valvular heart disease.
