Abstract
Primary cardiac sarcomas are extremely rare with only a few large case series
and isolated case reports in the literature. In spite of their aggressive nature
with high chances of local recurrence and distant metastases, these tumors
and their treatment strategies remain incompletely defi ned. We report an
unsuspected case of primary cardiac pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma in
a 52-year-old female who presented with progressive dyspnea and palpitation.
In the postoperative period, she was detected to have secondaries in brain and
thyroid, confirmed thereafter, by fine-needle aspiration cytology.
