Extensive left and right ventricular metastasis from myxoid liposarcoma

2024Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Myxoid liposarcoma, a subtype of liposarcoma, is a malignant soft tissue tumor commonly arising in the extremities. While metastasis to the lungs and other soft tissues is well-documented, cardiac involvement is exceedingly rare. We present a unique case of extensive left and right ventricular metastasis from myxoid liposarcoma, confirmed through a combination of imaging modalities, including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
