There is still limited study evaluated the metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma to the heart. The aim of this study is to know the prevalence and characteristic of metastasis of HCC to theheart in Indonesia. This retrospective study was conducted in secondary referral hospital in Tangerang county, Indonesia. We evaluated from medical record included baseline characteristic, survival and treatment of HCC and echocardiogram data for diagnosing metastasis to the heart from 2013-2015. There were 5 HCC patients recorded in thelast 3 years. All patients were male with median age 56(53-61) years old. Four patients were diagnosed using transthoracic echocardiograph and the rest using multi sliced CT scan. All patients were having continuous thrombus from inferior cava vein until right atrial. For the conclusion Hepatocellular carcinoma were reported as the cause ofintra-heart metastases in Indonesia.

Metastasis karsinoma hepatoselular ke jantung jarang, prevalensi yang ditemukan pada otopsi kurang dari 6 persen. Masih amat jarang studi yang mengevaluasi metastasis karsinoma hepatoselular ke jantung. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah ingin mengetahui prevalensi dankarakteristik metastasis karsinoma hepatoselular ke Jantung di Indonesia. Studi retrospektif ini dilakukan di rumah sakit rujukan tipe B di daerah Tangerang, Indonesia.
