De-Differentiated Myxofibrosarcoma Metastasis in the Right Atrium

Abstract

Solitary cardiac metastasis remains an uncommon diagnosis. Herein, the authors report describes a rare case of a 53-year-old woman with cardiac metastasis of a peripheral de-differentiated myxofibrosarcoma. This case demonstrates the complexity of pairing multimodality imaging and invasive techniques to achieve tissue characterization and diagnosis. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
