A Case of Metastasis to the Right Ventricle from Uterine Stromal Sarcoma / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

We report a case of metastasis to the right ventricle from uterine stromal sarcoma. A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of abdominal pain due to gallbladder stones. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography showed a tumor in the right ventricle and tricuspid regurgitation. The tumor was multilocular and had grown in the right atrium over the tricuspid valve. We performed tumor resection and tricuspid valve plasty. Postoperative transthoracic echocardiography showed the tricuspid regurgitation had resolved.
