Abstract
Primary tumors of the heart are rare and most of them benign. The majority of benign cardiac tumors are myxomas while almost all malignant cardiac tumors are sarcomas. We present a case of primary right atrial synovial sarcoma, a form of sarcoma particularly rare in the heart. The tumor manifested clinically as transient ischemic attacks probably related to a patent foramen ovale allowing paradoxical tumor embolization.
