Cardiac fibrosarcoma with bone metastases.
The diagnosis of a primary cardiac sarcoma with bone metastases was suspected in a previously normal patient because of the development of unremitting pulmonary edema and lytic bone lesions. Echocardiography substantiated the diagnosis, which proved at autopsy to be a primary fibrosarcoma of the heart. This represents only the third such case reported with bone metastases.
