Although carcinoid heart disease has been well described in the literature, metastatic implantation in the heart is rare. We describe a 79-year-old man with no previous history of cancer who presented with progressive dyspnea. He was found to have a septal implantation of a previously undiagnosed metastatic carcinoid tumor. He underwent successful resection with an uneventful postoperative course.
