Cardiac metastases of different tumors have a great importance in forensic medicine because of causing sudden death by circulation failure. The most important primary tumors which involve the heart are; carcinoma of the lung, esophageal carcinoma, lymphoma, carcinoma of the breast and malignant melanoma. Laryngeal malignancies rarely involve the heart. We present a sudden death due to cardiac metastasis of the larynx carcinoma in a 38-year old male. The possible mechanism was thought that enlargement of the metastatic tumor in myocardium had caused sudden death by decreasing the contraction capacity of the heart and provoking circulation failure.
Keywords: Pathology and biology, Sudden death, Cardiac metastasis, Larynx carcinoma
