title: Isolated cardiac metastasis of osteosarcoma.
abstract: Osteosarcoma metastasis to the heart caused by tumor thrombosis is very rare. A 7-year-old girl with an osteosarcoma of the right humerus, refused the treatment, at first, then, 1 year later, referred to the hospital with metastasis to the heart. The mass invading the pulmonary arteries was successfully removed with open-heart surgery.
