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.
平滑肌肉瘤（LMS）是一种起源于平滑肌细胞的软组织肉瘤。它常见于子宫，但也可发生于全身各处，包括腹膜后间隙、腹腔以及任何血管结构。虽然有许多子宫或血管平滑肌肉瘤转移至心脏的病例报告，但非内脏病变的心脏转移仅报告过两例。在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，一名患者经超声心动图和增强计算机断层扫描观察到右心室有来自左腹的转移性平滑肌肉瘤。
