Key result
Resection of a mass filling the entire right ventricular space reveals primary cardiac sarcoma.
Why the study?
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma presenting as a primary cardiac tumor causing right-sided heart failure is rare and requires clinical exploration.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights a rare instance of right ventricular undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma presenting with right-sided heart failure.
RV masses causing heart failure warrant sarcoma consideration; leaves open evidence-based treatment protocols for primary cardiac sarcomas.
In this paper, a case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma in a patient with right-sided heart failure has been explored. A 61-year-old woman complaining from cough and dyspnea for a week following indistinctive surgery on right buttock area with reported pathology of malignant undifferentiated tumor presented to the hospital. Laboratory results indicated negative TPi enzyme and D.dimer of 4127.81 mg/L. In transthoracic echocardiography, a mass filling the entire right ventricular space was observed. A resection surgery was performed and the pathology was reported as primary cardiac sarcoma.

Yadsar et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Right ventricular undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (n=1). Resection surgery was evaluated on Pathology of the resected mass. Resection surgery of a mass filling the entire right ventricular space in a 61-year-old woman revealed primary cardiac sarcoma.
