Abstract

A case of metastatic left ventricular osteosarcoma detected during life by conventional echocardiography was reported, and by 2-dimensional real-time echocardiography the spread and localization of osteosarcoma in the left ventricle were visualized directly. Our report is the first description of echocardiographic detection of osteosarcoma of the heart.
