Abstract
- Primary and metastatic cardiac sarcomas represent rare neoplasms with a variable clinical course. We present a rare case of an 84-year-old man with a cardiac pacemaker and heart osteosarcoma, hepatocellular and prostatic carcinoma, who was admitted with suspected symptoms of infective endocarditis. Findings of cardiac osteosarcoma in a patient with a pacemaker and three malignancies have not been reported before in the literature. J Med Cases. 2019;10(8):234-240 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/jmc3333
