Key result
Complete surgical resection plus chemoradiotherapy achieves >1-year recurrence-free survival in primary left atrial pleomorphic sarcoma.
Why the study?
Primary malignant cardiac tumors have poor prognosis, and detailed clinical course after complete surgical resection combined with adjuvant therapy is rarely reported.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Complete surgical resection combined with radiation and chemotherapy can lead to favorable short-term outcomes in patients with primary cardiac undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.
May support multimodal therapy in rare cardiac sarcomas; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Itonaga et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Left atrial undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (n=1). Complete surgical excision and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was evaluated on Survival without recurrence. Complete surgical excision followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy resulted in survival without recurrence for over 1 year in a 24-year-old woman with a primary left atrial undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.
