Key result
Consider primary cardiac sarcoma in young patients with exertional dyspnea and bilateral pleural effusion.
Why the study?
Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare and difficult to detect radiologically, but should be kept in mind in young patients presenting with dyspnea.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary cardiac sarcoma is a rare and radiologically elusive malignancy that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of young patients presenting with dyspnea and bilateral pleural effusion.
May warrant inclusion in the differential for young patients with exertional dyspnea and bilateral pleural effusion; leaves open the need for prospective validation of diagnostic approaches.
Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare clinic entity.It should be kept in mind in young people with dyspnea because it is a difficult disease to detect radiologically.We aimed to present a 40 years-old female patient with primary cardiac sarcoma.Although the primary cardiac sarcoma is rare, it should be considered in young patients with bilateral pleural effusion.

Uzar et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac sarcoma (n=1). Diagnostic imaging and systemic chemotherapy was evaluated. Primary cardiac sarcoma is a rare and radiologically difficult disease to detect, which should be considered in young patients presenting with exertional dyspnea and bilateral pleural effusion.
