We report a case of a 54‐year‐old Caucasian male with exertional dyspnea who underwent palliative resection of a solitary right ventricular metastasis one year after liver transplant for a multifocal HBV‐related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After nine months the patient remains asymptomatic and cardiac MRI shows no local progression of the tumor. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12588 (J Card Surg 2015;30:656–658)
