primary cardiac tumors, sarcoma, pleomorphicAbstract
The incidence of malignant primary cardiac tumors is very low and they present a poor prognosis due to local recurrence, with very poor survival. This type of tumors presents nonspecific symptoms and its presentation usually occurs in advanced stages of the disease. Surgical resection is the initial treatment, adyuvant chemoterapy and radiation therapy are often palliative options since the prognosis despite these therapies is one year or less. We present the case of a patient with undifferentiated malignant pleomorphic sarcoma with aggressive presentation and early recurrence despite surgical resection
