ABSTRACT
Liposarcoma is regarded as the second most common soft tissue malignant tumour. Metastasis of liposarcoma to the heart is very rare, and to date, less than 40 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a 46 year-old male with myxoid liposarcoma of the lower extremity who developed extensive metastasis to the left ventricle, pulmonary artery, and pericardium. The patient presented with acute symptoms of dyspnea 16 years after surgical resection of the primary tumour, and his dyspnea progressed to cardio-respiratory arrest within the first few days of hospital admission.
