Tumor of the heart diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.
A case of liposarcoma metastatic to the heart is presented. This is a very rare entity and only three prior case reports could be found. Magnetic resonance imaging was successfully used to visualize the tumor. These images compared favorably with a two-dimensional echocardiographic study and postmortem examination.
