Popis: The authors report a case of cardiac metastasis of a myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh in a 54 year old woman. The treatment associated repeated surgical ablation and chemotherapy. The drugs used induced some cardiotoxicity which limited their prescription but nevertheless, the patient survived 5 years. Previous reported cases do not describe survival lasting more than 2 years and associated chemotherapy would therefore seem to be a valuable adjuvant, increasing the life expectancy of such patients.
