A case of gingival cancer with pulmonary metastases that developed complete atrioventricular block and ventricular fibrillation as a result of myocardial metastases

Abstract

We present a rare case of gingival cancer with pulmonary metastases that developed life‐threatening complete atrioventricular block and ventricular fibrillation as a result of myocardial metastases. This case suggests that implantable cardioverter defibrillators significantly improve the quality of life in these patients and maintain their performance status.
