Primary pleomorphic sarcoma of the left atrium is a rare tumor. There is no actual evidence of the management of this pathological entity, so the main treatment is individualized, surgical management being the cornerstone of the treatment. We present a 78-year-old female who had a clinical picture of heart failure, documenting an atrial mass of the left atrium, with high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma revealed in histopathology. The tumor was surgical removed, with no clinical evidence of residual mass. The tumor recurred again within 3 years, to which the patient succumbed.
左心房原发性多形性肉瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤。目前尚无针对这种病理实体的实际治疗证据,因此主要治疗方法是个体化的,手术治疗是治疗的基石。我们报告一名78岁女性,她有心力衰竭的临床表现,经检查发现左心房有肿块,组织病理学显示为高级别多形性肉瘤。肿瘤通过手术切除,术后无残留肿块的临床证据。但肿瘤在3年内再次复发,患者最终因肿瘤去世。
