“…Additional testing with multidetector-row computed tomography is also helpful in initial staging of patients, especially those with suspected coronary artery disease or with uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors. It also provides valuable information on cardiac complications potentially associated with tumor progression such as pericardial involvement or myocardial metastases [119].…”

“…Nonvisceral LMS metastasizing to the heart is rare. Metastatic cardiac tumors have four spreading routes, including direct contiguous extension, hematogenous spread, retrograde lymphatic extension, and intracavitary diffusion through either the inferior vena cava or the pulmonary veins ( 6 ). The lymphatic spreading route is probably the most common route because the primary tumors with high prevalence, such as lung cancer and breast cancer frequently use this route ( 7 ).…”

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma that originates from smooth muscle cells. It is commonly found in the uterus but can occur throughout the body, including the retroperitoneal space, abdominal cavity, and any vascular structure. Although there are many case reports of uterine or vascular LMS metastasizing to the heart, cardiac metastasis from nonvisceral lesions has only been reported in two cases. Herein we report a rare case of a patient presenting metastatic LMS from the left flank in the right ventricle observed with echocardiography and enhanced computed tomography.

“…[ 1 ] Its incidence ranges from 0.001% to 0.03%, which is approximately 20 to 1000 times lower than that of the primary tumor. [ 2 ] In 2016, a research group in the United Kingdom described a case of uterine leiomyosarcoma with cardiac metastasis. [ 3 ] Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common type of bone malignancy, and is frequently highly malignant.…”

Rationale:Owing to the unique structure and function of the heart, tumor metastasis in the heart is rare. Accordingly, no unique symptoms have yet been identified for cardiac metastasis.Patient and concerns:A patient presented with cardiac metastasis 3 years after surgical resection of alveolar soft tissue sarcomas in their late stage.Diagnosis:Ultrasonography showed a middle-high echo clump on the left surface of the mid-upper interventricular septum, which had an unclear boundary with the myocardium. Meanwhile, blood flow was found in the clump, with no blockage of blood flow having been observed.Lessons:Although cardiac metastasis in terminal cancer patients always carries a poor prognosis, there is still no effective treatment for cardiac metastasis. In the clinic, it is important to improve the patient's quality of life, reduce symptoms and signs, and extend the duration of survival.
