Abstract

There are multiple etiologies that are responsible for an intracardiac mass, either benign or malignant, amongthem intracardiac abscess or a primary tumors. There is little evidence of diagnostic and treatment approachesfor intracardiac masses. We report a case of a 60-year-old male diagnosed with a left tight leiomyosarcoma thatdeveloped two left cardiac metastases. The current literature of cardiac metastases are mainly case reports andcase series, there is an unmet need of more research on this area to come to the best diagnostic and treatmentapproach for this kind of patients for a better overall outcome.
