Primary renal tumors with intracardiac metastasis are not infrequent. Most of the secondary spread is blood‐borne and occurs via inferior vena cava. Patients with such a spread often present with cardiac symptoms. We presume that a metastatic spread in the right atrium through coronary sinus has never been reported in the literature according to the result of a Medline search at the time of writing this report.
