Abstract
Intracardiac metastasis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare occurrence, with only a few cases reported in the literature. RMS is a malignant tumor of skeletal muscle origin, primarily affects children and young adults and rarely adults. It is characterized by an aggressive spread, often metastasizing to the lungs, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. However, cardiac involvement is uncommon and typically presents late in the disease course, complicating management and worsening prognosis. This article explores a rare case of intracardiac metastasis of RMS, discussing the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, treatment modalities, and prognosis. We also review relevant literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of this rare phenomenon.
