Abstract

We present a case report on a 54-year-old woman with extraskeletal osteosarcoma of the left atrium featuring severe congestive heart failure. We resected the tumor, which occupied the left atrium and had widely infiltrated the atrial wall, but the patients died of the tumor 9 months after surgery. This is to our knowledge the 32nd case of cardiac osteosarcoma ever reported.
