Wahba et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Recurrent malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the left atrium (n=1). Surgical excision and reconstruction using a Dacron patch was evaluated on Tumor recurrence and surgical outcome. Surgical excision of a recurrent malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the left atrium in a 27-year-old male was performed 15 weeks after primary resection, requiring reconstruction with a Dacron patch.
