Primary malignant neoplasms of the heart are rare. Cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma is the second most common primary sarcoma. We report a rare case of a 49-year-old woman with a huge biatrial cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma treated by performing surgical resection followed by salvage chemotherapy for local recurrence. Cardiac sarcoma that occupy both atria are extremely rare. Although the prognosis of cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma is dismal, surgical resection should be recommended as a first line therapy to clarify the diagnosis and to relieve symptoms associated with the tumor.
心脏原发性恶性肿瘤较为罕见。心脏横纹肌肉瘤是第二大常见的原发性肉瘤。我们报告了一例罕见的 49 岁女性巨大双心房心脏横纹肌肉瘤病例,该患者接受了手术切除,随后因局部复发进行了挽救性化疗。同时累及左右心房的心脏肉瘤极其罕见。尽管心脏横纹肌肉瘤的预后较差,但手术切除应作为一线治疗方法,以明确诊断并缓解与肿瘤相关的症状。
