  • Title: Cardiac metastasis of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma occupying the right ventricle and infiltrating the myocardium.
    Author: Wankmüller H, Seitz K, Seitz G.
    Journal: Ultraschall Med; 1998 Jun; 19(3):139-41. PubMed ID: 9744046.
    Abstract:
    A 86-year-old woman presented with a cardiac tumor occupying the whole cavity of the right ventricle and causing right ventricular outflow obstruction. A percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy was performed and histologic examination revealed a metastasis of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Because of the extensive cardiac involvement and multiple pulmonary metastases, effective surgical therapy was not possible and the patient died soon after diagnosis.
