Why the study?
The prognosis and treatment outcomes of malignant fibrous histiocytoma originating from the right ventricular outflow tract are not well characterized due to its rarity.
Case Report (n=1)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the right ventricular outflow tract is a very rare primary cardiac tumor with a generally poor prognosis despite surgical resection.
A 70-year-old man presented with right heart failure due to obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract by a large tumor mass. The tumor was surgically resected as much as possible. Neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy was given. The patient died of local recurrence and multiple lung metastases 6 months after surgery. The prognosis of this very rare primary cardiac tumor is generally poor.
