Intracardiac Metastatic Sarcoma

Abstract

Even though intracardiac sarcoma metastases are rare, they have been previously reported in the literature. We report the case of a 60-year-old man who had a synovial sarcoma with metastasis in the right ventricle. These findings were associated with the presence of a new cardiac murmur and severe thrombocytopenia. The treatment with systemic chemotherapy resulted in a normalization of the patient’s hematologic profile and in a reduction of the intracardiac mass. The patient subsequently underwent intracardiac tumor resection.
