Cardiac metastases are more frequent than primary heart neoplasias. Nearly any malignant tumour may metastasize to the heart, but the most common are carcinomas rather than sarcomas. We report the case of a patient who presented with heart metastasis 6 years after resection of an uterine leiomyosarcoma. The patient died thirty months after surgical resection without evidence of cardiac recurrence. Although cardiac metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma are exceptional, they should be suspected in the presence of suggestive symptoms, since they can be associated with long survival after surgical treatment.
心脏转移瘤比原发性心脏肿瘤更为常见。几乎任何恶性肿瘤都可能转移至心脏，但最常见的是癌而非肉瘤。我们报告一例患者，其在子宫平滑肌肉瘤切除术后6年出现心脏转移。该患者在手术切除后30个月死亡，未发现心脏复发迹象。尽管子宫平滑肌肉瘤的心脏转移极为罕见，但出现提示性症状时应怀疑有心脏转移，因为手术治疗后可能有较长生存期。
