- Abstract
The current case presents a patient with a tumor emboli stroke as a presenting symptom of a liposarcoma metastasis to the heart that was treated successfully with endovascular mechanical retrieval, followed by subsequent cardiac surgery. The patient is still alive, under chemotherapy treatment, 3 years following the interventions. This scenario should be considered as a part of the differential diagnosis of oncology patients presenting with new central neurological symptoms. This active approach can be an effective treatment if the patient is fit and there is no evidence of widespread disease.
