Unusual Cardiac Metastasis of Nonvisceral Soft Tissue Leiomyosarcoma in the Right Ventricle: A Case Report and Literature Review
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 vascu...

| Summary: | 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. |
