- Abstract
This article, published in the European Heart Journal, discusses a case of endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) with intracardiac extension through the inferior vena cava. A 48-year-old woman presented with a cardiac mass and lower limb edema, and imaging revealed a cystic mass in the right atrium that extended from the inferior vena cava. The patient underwent surgical intervention, confirming the diagnosis of LGESS. The extension of LGESS to the inferior vena cava and heart is rare, and this case highlights the importance of vigilance among clinicians for unusual presentations of LGESS.
