A Rare Case of Intracavitary Cardiac Metastasis of Endometrial Carcinosarcoma

A 59-year-old female, with past medical history including endometrial carcinosarcoma with a port-a-cath device, presented due to shortness of breath. Transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated a mass extending from the right atrium, involving the tricuspid valve, and extending into the right ventri...

description A 59-year-old female, with past medical history including endometrial carcinosarcoma with a port-a-cath device, presented due to shortness of breath. Transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated a mass extending from the right atrium, involving the tricuspid valve, and extending into the right ventricle. Our differential diagnosis included thrombus as well as endocarditis and malignancy; a thrombus was considered to be the most likely etiology due to the port-a-cath device. Use of the novel AngioVac mechanical aspiration device (AngioDynamics, 2021) allowed removal of the mass as well as evaluation by pathology, establishing the unlikely diagnosis of metastatic endometrial carcinosarcoma.
