  • Title: Massive left atrial sarcoma presenting with severe congestive heart failure.
    Author: Kuurstra EJ, Mullen JC, MacArthur RG.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 2014 Oct; 30(10):1250.e13-5. PubMed ID: 25108492.
    Abstract:
    Primary intimal sarcomas of the left atrium are extremely rare and highly aggressive tumours. To our knowledge, only 4 cases have been reported to date. We report on a 42-year-old man who presented with signs of congestive heart failure and was found to have an enormous left atrial bilobed tumour with obstruction of the mitral valve. The patient underwent a surgical excision of the sarcoma. The tumour recurred 8.5 months later and the patient required right pneumonectomy.
