Maneuvering the Management of a Rare Case of Primary Undifferentiated Cardiac Sarcoma.

BACKGROUND Primary cardiac tumors are rare and mostly benign. Cardiac sarcomas are the most common malignant neoplasms of the heart and harbor a dismal prognosis of 6 to 12 months. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcomas may be challenging. Treatment entails surgical resection despite the high rate of recurrence, as well as adjuvant chemotherapy. CASE REPORT In this report, we discuss a case of a 58-year-old male with undifferentiated pleomorphic primary cardiac sarcomas who received multiple lines of treatment that included surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy and was alive more than 4 years after his diagnosis. Herein, we discuss the different treatment regimens utilized and we present detailed imaging of his case findings at different treatment stages. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of undifferentiated pleomorphic cardiac sarcoma requires a multidisciplinary approach. Surgery and adjuvant treatment are commonly utilized, while neoadjuvant treatment is under investigation.
