Key result
Massive 4200 g primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma presents in a rare pericardial location.
Why the study?
Primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumour usually found in the left atrium, and its pericardial location is extremely rare.
Documents an exceptionally rare and massive (4200 g) primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma located in the pericardium.
Rare pericardial myxofibrosarcoma merits consideration in large-mass differentials; leaves open optimal management and prognosis.
Primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumour usually found in the left atrium. Its pericardial location is extremely rare, and its management is mainly based on surgery. We report a historical case of myxofibrosarcoma of the pericardium weighing 4200 g.
