case_images: Post-mortem autopsy disclosed a large heart (640 g) with a large gelatinous hard tumour based at the right ventricular wall, 8 cm at length and 5-6 cm wide (Fig. 3). It had grown through the pulmonary trunk into the pulmonary artery filling almost the whole space of the right atrium (Fig. 3).
case_images: Microscopic examination disclosed bony structures (osteoid) within the tumour with no other mesenchyme structures present pointing to osteosarcoma (van Gieson; magnitude x 40).
