[Pulmonary metastasis with left intra-atrial extension of liposarcoma. Apropos of a case].
The direct extension of a neoplastic thrombus of the pulmonary veins into the left atrium is extremely rare. The authors report the case of a pulmonary metastasis from a liposarcoma of the thigh extending into the pulmonary veins and prolapsing into the left atrium. The patient was successfully treated by tumorectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass then by left upper lobectomy.
