Abstract
Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare tumors with poor prognosis. Intimal sarcoma, a mesenchymal malignant tumor described mainly in the great vessels, may rarely involve the heart. Herein we describe the case of a 70-years-old female who was found to have a left atrial mass during an investigation of a new onset dyspnea. The patient underwent surgery and the resected mass was found to be an intimal sarcoma. The objectives of this report were to describe a case of this rare disease entity and to discuss its pathological and molecular findings based on relevant literature.
