    AbstractCardiac metastases are the most common cardiac tumours. Any malignant tumour can metastasise to heart, but the most common causes of cardiac metastases are melanoma, lung, breast, oesophageal, and haematological malignancies. Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a very rare endometrial malignancy. Metastases are usually found in the abdominal cavity, particularly on the peritoneal surfaces. Rarely, metastases to distant organs have also been reported. Cardiac metastases of ESS are extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of ESS who underwent successful surgery for right atrial metastasis 23 months after the initial diagnosis. Key Words: Endometrial stromal sarcoma, Cardiac tumour, Cardiac metastasis.
