Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is a common subtype of liposarcoma in children and adolescents and can occur anywhere in the body. Cardiac metastases from MLS are very rare. We report a rare case of postoperative recurrence of MLS in the left thigh with ectopic and metachronous pericardial metastases. Cardiac metastases from MLS are rare, the prognosis is poor, and long‐term follow‐up of patients after discharge is necessary.
