Yokoyama et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Recurrent Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the Left Atrium (n=1). Surgical resection and mitral valve replacement was evaluated on Patient survival and recurrence status. A third surgical resection and mitral valve replacement were successfully performed on a 59-year-old male with recurrent primary cardiac undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, with no recurrence at 1 year.
