Abstract
We present a rare case of a myocardial neuroendocrine metastasis in a 45-year-old male patient. The tumor was localized on the left side of the interventricular septum. Complete surgical excision of the tumor was successfully performed robotically  through a left atriotomy, using a transmitral approach. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. A robotic mini-invasive approach is a safe and feasible alternative to conventional surgery and should be considered when the anatomy is suitable for a minimally invasive procedure.
