| Résumé : | Soft tissue sarcomas represent rare tumors. They recur most often locally and in the lungs. We report the case of a 58-year woman who was treated for awith chemotherapy and then surgery. About a year after the end of the treatment an intracardiac mass was identified during a follow up chest CT-scan. The patient underwent a surgical resection of that mass found to bel myxoid chondrosarcoma metastasis. Only 2 cases of cardiac dissemination of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma have been described. The differential diagnosis of intracardiac masses is discussed. In some carefully selected cases atrisks of obstructive shock or embolizationand unique metastatic location, cardiac surgery should be considered. |
