Abstract

Cardiac metastases normally Creflect diffuse metastatic spread of the primary tumour and are rarely found in isolation. We present a case of a 71-year-old man with a history of completely resected high-grade spindle cell sarcoma of the left thigh, who presented with shortness of breath, and was found to have a large right ventricular mass, subsequently diagnosed as a metastasis of the prior sarcoma. It was deemed inoperable and incurable, and the patient was offered palliative chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the patient died within four months of his original presentation.

右心室转移引起呼吸短促1例。
心脏转移通常反映原发肿瘤的弥漫性转移性扩散,很少单独发现。我们报告一例71岁男性患者,有左大腿高级别梭形细胞肉瘤完全切除的病史,患者表现为呼吸急促,并发现有一个大的右心室肿块,随后诊断为先前肉瘤的转移。这被认为是无法手术和无法治愈的,病人接受了姑息性化疗。不幸的是,病人在他最初的表现后四个月内死亡。
