This case report provides the first description of echocardiographic detection of metastatic osteosarcoma of the heart.
Echocardiography may detect cardiac osteosarcoma metastases; hypothesis-generating for rare tumor imaging and needs prospective validation.
A case of metastatic left ventricular osteosarcoma detected during life by conventional echocardiography was reported, and by 2-dimensional real-time echocardiography the spread and localization of osteosarcoma in the left ventricle were visualized directly. Our report is the first description of echocardiographic detection of osteosarcoma of the heart.
