Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare. Although complete surgical resection of malignant primary cardiac tumors results in an improved survival compared with no intervention, the overall prognosis is generally poor, with treatable recurrent primary cardiac sarcomas being extremely rare. We report a patient with a recurrent primary cardiac sarcoma obstructing the left atrium managed with radical cardiac resection, including right pneumonectomy, with 21-month postprocedural survival.
