Kim, Jung, Kim, Choi, Lee, and Kang: Metastatic Brain Tumor from Cardiac Chondrosarcoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Primary chondrosarcoma of the heart and its metastasis to the brain is extremely rare. We describe the case ofa patient who underwent resection of cardiac chon-drosarcoma only to relapse with brain metastasis two yearslater. MR images showed that these metastatic tumors were slightly hypointense relative to the brain onT1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. The masses were highly enhanced. Peritumoraledema appeared less extens ive and the focal cystic portion was seen within the mass, corresponding to myxoid degeneration.
