Abstract
A 73-year-old male with a remote history of renal cell carcinoma presented with an asymptomatic left ventricular mass. Biopsy of the mass revealed a late recurrence of his renal cell carcinoma. Given the size and location of the mass, resection was not possible. Treatment with pazopanib was initiated with good clinical response.Keywords
