Extensive surgical resection of a right-sided cardiac malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a young male patient was followed by early recurrence.
Case Report (n=1)
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the right heart can exhibit early recurrence following extensive surgical resection.
Right-sided cardiac MFH may cause outflow obstruction with early recurrence post-resection; leaves open optimal surveillance and therapy for atypical locations.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a pleomorphic soft tissue sarcoma, which constitutes only 2% of all cardiac malignancies and is typically located in the left atrium. We report a young male patient with malignant fibrous histiocytoma located on the right side of the heart. Early recurrence was observed after extensive surgical resection to relieve symptoms of outflow tract obstruction. Noninvasive evaluation and management with regard to the literature are discussed.
