Abstract
PICON-JAIMES, Yelson A. et al. Primary undifferentiated sarcoma of left atrium. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.1, pp.98-101. Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001718.
This text aimed to illustrate the reader about one of the most infrequent tumors in the medical literature and discuss based on current literature what is known to date of this pathology.
Case report:
We report the case of a male in the fifth decade of life, who underwent transthoracic echocardiography due to impairment of the functional class. Ultrasound showed tumor lesion that occupied 95% of the left atrium, with hemodynamic compromise and severe pulmonary hypertension. After extension studies, he was taken to surgery with total mass extraction by middle stereotomy. The pathology revealed undifferentiated high-grade sarcoma without lymphovascular involvement.
Keywords : Heart atria; Heart failure; Neoplasms; Sarcoma.
