Endometrial cancer is the most common gynaecologic malignancy and the fourth most common cancer in women. The lymphatic pathway is the main metastatic behaviour of EC; however, haematogenous metastases are not uncommon, especially in patients with higher stages of the disease. Our patient did not show any signs and symptoms of cardiac involvement. Nevertheless, clinicians should be alert for symptoms of cardiac involvement like new-onset murmur, embolism, or dyspnoea. Having known the behavioural pattern of the primary tumour, timely utilization of diagnostic imaging methods in accordance with clinical suspicions in patients with rapidly growing tumours can be lifesaving.
