“…Multiple primary malignancies are common only in 3-5% of tumors [ 30 ]. Despite its low incidence, the association of two malignancies in a single patient has been widely reported in the literature, while only a relatively small number (0.5%) of three malignancies have been described including primary cardiac sarcomas [ 30 - 32 ]. Some cases of cardiac sarcomas (pleomorphic spindle cell sarcoma, angiosarcoma) in pacemaker patients are described [ 16 , 33 ].…”

Primary and metastatic cardiac sarcomas represent rare neoplasms with a variable clinical course. We present a rare case of an 84-yearold man with a cardiac pacemaker and heart osteosarcoma, hepatocellular and prostatic carcinoma, who was admitted with suspected symptoms of infective endocarditis. Findings of cardiac osteosarcoma in a patient with a pacemaker and three malignancies have not been reported before in the literature.

The patient was urgently FUKUOKA et al [10] reported the diagnosis of heart leiomyosarcoma in a patient who had previously been submitted to resection of neoplasms of the thyroid and the lower lobe of the left lung. According to the authors, an anatomicopathological study revealed an independent nature among the histologic types of the three tumours.…”

Neoplasms of the cardiovascular system are rare pathologies associated with non-specific signs and symptoms. Cardiac neoplasms should be considered when treating cardiac arrhythmia, Hiss-Purkinje conduction system dysfunction and ischemic syndromes. Tumours of the cardiac muscle are rhabdomyosarcomas that develop frequently in the left chambers, mainly the left ventricle. Among endovascular tumours, the most common one is the myxoma of left atrium and its variant forms. Metastatic tumours of the heart, among them the malignant melanoma, affect the right ventricle more commonly (anterior wall and septum, with invasion of the left ventricle), in the nondisseminated form. Late diagnosis results in high morbidity and mortality rates whether surgical treatment is given or not. The authors describe the case of a right ventricle melanoma patient, comparing the diagnostic approach and treatment with published data. The treatment of choice of cardiac muscle malignant tumours (both primary and metastatic) is non-conclusive according to our literature review. Due to the low incidence of this pathology, the authors suggest additional meta-analytic studies should be performed to establish diagnostic and therapeutic criteria for the malignant tumours of the heart.

“…As they have a potential of dissemination and local invasion, they can rapidly invade the right ventricle, vena cavas, interventricular septum and the left heart chambers. Alterations of the heart rhythm, arrhythmia and blocks of the conduction of electrical stimuli of the Hiss-Purkinje system are more common in this type of neoplasm than in myxomas and in the metastatic tumours to the heart [8][9][10][11].…”
