摘要：

A 77-year-old man with a history of renal cell carcinoma presented with orthostatic syncope. Investigation revealed metastatic carcinoma in the left lung extending through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium obstructing the mitral orifice. On review of the literature, this case appears to be the first to describe metastatic carcinoma to the left atrium presenting as a primary cause of syncope.
