Remission of a Perimyocardial Melanoma Metastasis With Pembrolizumab Treatment

Remission of a Perimyocardial Melanoma Metastasis With Pembrolizumab Treatment

Malignant melanoma demonstrates the highest rate of cardiac metastases. The incidence of melanoma is rising. The prognosis of people with advanced melanoma is generally poor. This case report emphasizes the potential need for early detection of cardiac involvement in advanced melanoma in view of pro...
