Objectives: A 36-year-old Asian man was referred to our hospital with cardiac metastasis. He had a history of alveolar soft part sarcoma and initially underwent resection in 2005. Methods: After exposing the tumor by thoracotomy, cryoablation was performed under ultrasound guidance. This treatment was combined with iodine-125 seed implantation to treat the cardiac metastasis. Results: The patient had an uneventful recovery, and his cardiac function shows no obvious abnormalities. Imaging techniques suggest that cardiac metastasis was well controlled, and the patient is still alive 12 months after treatment. Conclusions: Tumor cryoablation, combined with iodine seed implantations, may be regarded as a means of palliative treatment.

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a very uncommon soft tissue malignancy which accounts for <1% of soft tissue sarcoma. It is a malignant and highly vascular tumor arising most commonly in the musculature of the lower extremities, with metastasis primarily to the lungs, bones, and brain. Cardiac metastasis is very rare and only 5 cases have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of a young woman with a history of surgically resected alveolar soft part sarcoma of left thigh who presented with persistent dry cough and was found to have a cardiac mass, which on biopsy proved to be alveolar soft part sarcoma.
