Cardiac metastases are the most frequent cardiac tumors. They can cause dysrhythmia, myocardial dysfunction, pericardial effusion, and heart failure. In decreasing order, the major primary malignancies associated with cardiac metastases are pleural mesothelioma, lung adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinomas, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and breast carcinoma. Cardiac metastasis of sarcomas is uncommon, and only a limited number of cases have been found in literature. We report the case of an incidentally discovered cardiac metastasis when assessing the extension of a thigh mass in a 45-year-old man.
心脏转移瘤是最常见的心脏肿瘤。它们可导致心律失常、心肌功能障碍、心包积液和心力衰竭。与心脏转移瘤相关的主要原发性恶性肿瘤按发生率递减依次为胸膜间皮瘤、肺腺癌、未分化癌、肺鳞状细胞癌和乳腺癌。肉瘤的心脏转移并不常见，文献中仅发现有限数量的病例。我们报告了一例在评估一名45岁男性大腿肿块范围时偶然发现的心脏转移瘤病例。
