Case Report (n=1)
Myxoid liposarcoma can present with very late metastasis to the heart, mimicking other cardiac abnormalities and presenting with heart failure.
Farmer et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Myxoid liposarcoma (n=1). Myxoid liposarcoma was evaluated on Late metastasis to the heart.
