Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a very uncommon soft tissue malignancy which accounts for <1% of soft tissue sarcoma. It is a malignant and highly vascular tumor arising most commonly in the musculature of the lower extremities, with metastasis primarily to the lungs, bones, and brain. Cardiac metastasis is very rare and only 5 cases have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of a young woman with a history of surgically resected alveolar soft part sarcoma of left thigh who presented with persistent dry cough and was found to have a cardiac mass, which on biopsy proved to be alveolar soft part sarcoma.
肺泡软组织肉瘤是一种非常罕见的软组织恶性肿瘤，占软组织肉瘤的比例不到1%。它是一种恶性且血管丰富的肿瘤，最常发生于下肢肌肉组织，主要转移至肺、骨和脑。心脏转移非常罕见，迄今为止文献中仅报道过5例。我们报告一例年轻女性病例，该患者有左大腿肺泡软组织肉瘤手术切除史，出现持续干咳，检查发现有心脏肿块，活检证实为肺泡软组织肉瘤。
