Cystosarcoma phyllodes is an uncommon breast tumor that rarely metastasizes. A case of dumbbell cystosarcoma phyllodes metastatic to the heart and lung diagnosed antemortem is described. The roles of diagnostic echocardiography and surgical excision are discussed. Atrial extension of a lung malignancy through a pulmonary vein is not an absolute contraindication to operation, but careful patient selection and operative planning are required.
