The authors report a 27-year-old woman with a remote left femoral osteosarcoma and amputation above the left knee who presented with a large right ventricular mass. Initial evaluation with thoracic CT was inconclusive regarding thrombus versus tumor, but metastatic osteosarcoma was suggested by findings at transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac CT, and cardiac MRI. The patient underwent tumor debulking, and osteosarcoma was confirmed with pathologic examination. She responded to chemotherapy, which resulted in reduction in size of the residual right ventricular tumor and of a few pulmonary metastases. Following induction chemotherapy, patient remains well undergoing maintenance therapy with an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
