  • Title: Leiomyosarcoma of the left atrium.
    Author: Canadyova J, Setina M, Smetanová S, Mokracek A.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2008 Jan; 16(1):e7-9. PubMed ID: 18245694.
    Abstract:
    A 41-year-old woman underwent successful excision of a leiomyosarcoma of the left atrium. The preferential left atrial location and frequent myxoid appearance of leiomyosarcoma of the heart make it particularly difficult to distinguish preoperatively from atrial myxoma. Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical intervention with chemotherapy may improve the prognosis.
