Discussion

Implication

May support multimodal imaging for rare asymptomatic cardiac metastases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

1 adult male (58 years old) with a history of smoking and hypertension, previously treated for myxoid liposarcoma of the right thigh, presenting with an asymptomatic right ventricular mass detected on routine follow-up.

Intervention

Multimodal imaging (CT, echocardiography, cardiac MRI) and surgical resection

Outcome

Diagnosis and successful resection of metastatic cardiac myxoid liposarcoma

This case highlights the critical role of multimodal imaging, particularly cardiac MRI, in the early detection and characterization of rare, asymptomatic cardiac metastases from myxoid liposarcoma.

Limitations

Pathology images were not available as the patient chose to have the pathology examination performed in a different city
