Abstract
|
|
|
A 38 year old woman presented with two week history of cough, progressive dyspnea, orthopnea and pedal edema. She had previously been in excellent health with the exception of surgery five years ago for tumor of the right thigh. The
histopathologic
diagnosis was chondrosarcoma. Her clinical course was characterized by rapid aggrevation of dyspnea and edema unresponsive to conventional managements for congestive heart failure. Transesophageal echocardiogram showed left atrial mass growing
from
pulmonic vein. To our knowledge, cardiac metastasis from chondrosarcoma is rare and we report this is the first case of chondrosarcoma metastatic to the heart in Korea.
