Case Report (n=1)
This is the first reported case of a cardiac pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor, expanding the known locations of this rare, benign inflammatory pseudotumor.

May warrant inclusion in cardiac mass differentials; extends known sites of this rare benign tumor.
A cardiac pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor (PFT) is described in a previously healthy 35-year-old man, together with a review of the literature. Pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor is within the spectrum of inflammatory (myofibroblastic) pseudotumors. It has previously been described predominantly within the genitourinary tract and respiratory tract. Inflammatory pseudotumor is rare as a cardiac tumor, and cardiac PFT is not previously reported. No recurrence or metastatic disease has been reported after resection of PFTs elsewhere in the body, and this tumor seems to have a benign clinical course.
