In the present case, tumors originated from endocardium just under the ulmonary valve orifice. They were polypoid and extended along the pulmonary trunk to the right and left pulmonary arteries, and metastasized to the left ventricle and left adrenal. Histologically, they consisted of fibromyxoma, fibromyxosarcoma, and liposarcoma. Finally, the patient died from acute cardiac tamponade caused by the bleeding from the left ventricular metastatic lesion.
