Both primary and metastatic heart sarcomas are scarce neoplasms with various clinical features and are known to be great imitators of several clinical representations. This article presents a case of a cardiac metastatic sarcoma complicated by infective endocarditis in a 35-year-old female patient with a history of rheumatic fever, brain surgery and COVID-19 infection. The diagnosis was based on echocardiography, computed tomography and biopsy results. Despite receiving six weeks of antibiotic treatment, the patient's prognosis was bleak due to the lack of effective palliative options. The article underlines the challenges in the management of cardiac sarcomas and the need for further research in this field.
