title: Metastatic liposarcoma of the heart. Case series and brief literature review.
abstract: Secondary cardiac tumors are 20-40 times more frequent than primary lesions. Primary cardiac lesions are represented by myxomas when related to benign tumors, and by sarcomas in terms of malignant disease. Metastases to the heart from liposarcomas are very rare. We present three cases of secondary liposarcomas involving the left atrium, the right atrium, and the pericardium.
