Key result
Multimodal imaging and CT-guided biopsy successfully diagnosed a rare metastatic myxoid liposarcoma in the right atrium of a 53-year-old woman presenting with cardiac tamponade.
Why the study?
Cardiac myxoid liposarcomas are very rare and can present with cardiac tamponade due to direct tumor compression or pericardial effusion.

Cardiac myxoid liposarcoma is an extremely rare condition that can present as cardiac tamponade due to direct tumor compression or pericardial effusion.
Ramamurthy et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Metastatic myxoid liposarcoma with cardiac tamponade (n=1). Multimodal imaging and CT-guided biopsy was evaluated on Diagnosis of cardiac mass. Multimodal imaging and CT-guided biopsy successfully diagnosed a rare metastatic myxoid liposarcoma in the right atrium of a 53-year-old woman presenting with cardiac tamponade.
