Abstract:
The presenting signs of osteogenic osteosarcoma are commonly pain, local swelling, local warmth, pathologic fracture, and metastatic disease. Deep venous metastasis of osteoblastic osteosarcoma is most often a postmortem diagnosis. This paper describes the case of a previously healthy 18-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea and lower extremity edema. This is a rare, and to our knowledge, a previously unreported case of right atrial and ventricular tumor thrombus infiltrated with osteoblastic osteosarcoma.
