Abstract

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature contraction originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) usually appear in healthy individuals. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is highly effective at resolving this type of arrhythmia. Refractory VT of RVOT is uncommon and occasionally results from cardiac metastasis of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcomas (ESMC). ESMC is a rare malignant tumor arising from soft tissues. The current study presents the case of a 25-year-old male with severe VT arising from RVOT due to metastasis of an ESMC that originally occurred in the retroperitoneum. The diagnosis was confirmed following echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. VT was eventually eliminated by RFA, and during the 8‑month follow‑up period the patient did not complain of any palpitations. Holter monitoring confirmed the absence of recurrence.
