Abstract： A patient presented with a large pericardial tumor of uncertain etiology.Five years earlier,she had been treated for myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh.For pre-surgical evaluation,conventional radiography,positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT),magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),CT of the heart,transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) were performed.The final histopathologic diagnosis was metastatic liposarcoma.Each of the imaging modalities used had advantages and disadvantages,and their coordination was necessary for optimal evaluation.
