FDG PET/CT is capable of detecting recurrent hypermetabolic lesions in patients with rare primary cardiac sarcomas such as myxofibrosarcoma.
May support FDG PET/CT for recurrence surveillance in rare cardiac sarcomas; hypothesis-generating case report needing prospective validation.
Primary cardiac sarcomas are extremely rare tumors. In this case report, we presented the condition of a 37-year-old male patient diagnosed with myxofibrosarcoma after histopathologic evaluation of the left atrium mass excision. FDG PET/CT was performed and showed recurrent hypermetabolic lesions in the left atrial wall and right anterior mediastinal region.
