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.
A patient presented with cardiac metastasis 3 years after surgical resection of alveolar soft tissue sarcomas in their late stage.
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.
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.
由于心脏独特的结构和功能，肿瘤转移至心脏的情况较为罕见。因此，目前尚未确定心脏转移的独特症状。
一名患者在晚期肺泡软组织肉瘤手术切除3年后出现心脏转移。
超声心动图显示室间隔中上段左表面有一中等偏高回声团块，与心肌界限不清。同时，团块内可见血流信号，未观察到血流受阻。
尽管晚期癌症患者发生心脏转移的预后通常较差，但目前仍没有针对心脏转移的有效治疗方法。在临床中，提高患者生活质量、减轻症状体征以及延长生存时间非常重要。
