Core Tip This case report presents a cardio oncology patient who presented with an acute coronary syndrome. However, the clinical presentation as well as the echocardiography findings were suspicious for an alternative diagnosis including immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced myocarditis or cardiac metastasis. Cardiac magnetic resonance aided the final diagnosis and the initiation of the appropriate treatment by the multidisciplinary team. The case highlights the significance of multimodality imaging for the management of cardio-oncology patients.
