Prompts sarcoma consideration in embolic LV masses; extends sparse case data but leaves open need for prospective validation.
Ma et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Cardiac intimal sarcoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Survival and tumor recurrence. Complete surgical resection of a rare left ventricular cardiac intimal sarcoma resulted in patient survival with no evidence of tumor recurrence at one-year follow-up.
