Abstract
We are presenting a case of a 41-year-old female with left atrial myxoid sarcoma, which was presented with a cardiogenic shock picture. She underwent surgical excision of the mass and was discharged in good condition. After discharge, she deteriorated and was found to have lung metastases. Primary cardiac sarcomas, due to their rarity and poor prognosis, are often diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease and lack sufficient data to establish a standard course of treatment. The cornerstone of therapy is surgical resection. However, novel therapeutic approaches must be developed. Primary cardiac tumors should be suspected in adult patients with progressive dyspnea, and a biopsy should also be done to determine the histopathological pattern of the mass and estimate the overall prognosis and outcomes.
