Intracavitary cardiac metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma with immune thrombocytopenia: a rare case report.

ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer is a prevalent gynecological malignancy; however, intracavitary cardiac metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma is exceptionally rare. In addition, the co-occurrence of cervical cancer and right ventricular cancer thrombus with autoimmune diseases is extremely uncommon. Furthermore, the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment process of such cases remains controversial. Given the scarcity of reported cases, it is imperative to document and highlight this unique presentation, providing novel insights into diagnosis and management strategies. We present the case of an adult patient diagnosed with cervical cancer and concurrent right ventricular cancer thrombus, accompanied by immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The patient exhibited resistance to conventional
