Cardiac Tumors are not Always Myxomas− A Case Report

Abstract

Rosas D and Raez LE

There are multiple etiologies that are responsible for an intracardiac mass, either benign or malignant, among
them intracardiac abscess or a primary tumors. There is little evidence of diagnostic and treatment approaches
for intracardiac masses. We report a case of a 60-year-old male diagnosed with a left tight leiomyosarcoma that
developed two left cardiac metastases. The current literature of cardiac metastases are mainly case reports and
case series, there is an unmet need of more research on this area to come to the best diagnostic and treatment
approach for this kind of patients for a better overall outcome.
