[Embolization of the foramen ovale in metastatic course of abdominal liposarcoma]

Abstract

The authors report a case of embolization of the foramen ovale by a liposarcoma metastasis in a young woman of 28 years of age. Cardiac impact due to the progress of this rare tumor type remains unusual. The various clinical situations resulting from secondary cardiac locations are recalled. The diagnostic role of ultrasonography and the information which can be provided by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in this context are also recalled.
