Abstract:
Primary cardiac myxosarcoma is extremely rare, which is uncommon in primary cardiac tumors. We report a primary cardiac myxosarcoma in a 40-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital because of exertional dyspnea and palpitation. The patient underwent emergency operation immediately after the intracardiac (left atrium) tumor was discovered by an echocardiography. Palliative tumor removal was done and final pathologic diagnosis was primary cardiac myxosarcoma. She was discharged without complications.
