Abstract

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is an uncommon soft‑tissue neoplasm, which is commonly found in the deep soft tissues of the extremities, with a propensity for recurrence and metastasis. However, the metastasis of ASPS to the heart is exceedingly rare. The present study reports such a rare case with cardiac metastasis. Using computed tomography, a 37‑year‑old man was diagnosed with brain, lung and spleen metastases from a previously treated ASPS in the left forearm. Cardiac metastasis was then diagnosed 1 month later. Despite chemotherapy and palliative whole‑brain radiotherapy, the patient succumbed to the disease shortly after. This case suggests that the widespread metastases and cardiac involvement of ASPS may result in a poor outcome.
