Extraskeletal Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma of the Heart: a Rare Entity

Abstract

Extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is an extremely rare neoplastic disease associated with high incidence of distant metastasis and poor prognosis, with heart metastasis being even more uncommon.

We present a case of a female patient, 62 years old, diagnosed with extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with disseminated metastatic disease for thirteen years, currently under second-line chemotherapy for three years. During her annual follow up with chest-abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT), an incidental heart metastasis was found, with no symptoms associated.

Key words: Chondrosarcoma; Mesenchymal; Heart.
