ABSTRACT
Chordoma is a rare tumor, usually diagnosed when the disease is advanced. Despite its slow growth, it is locally aggressive and has a poor long-term prognosis. Surgery is the mainstay treatment. Although cardiac metastases are very rare, the heart is frequently involved in systemic neoplastic diseases. This report describes a typical case of metastatic chordoma the age at first diagnosis, the site of the primary tumor, and the slow growth of the cardiac metastasis were all typical features. Surgical excision of the mass from the right ventricular outflow tract is described together with echocardiographic, radiologic, and histopathologic characteristics of the metastatic chordoma.
