“…The mean survival period among the total 47 cases was about one year. One patient survived for 6 years and 5 additional surgeries were performed (38). A second operation was not indicated in our patient because of the tumor dissemination into the chest wall.…”

A rare case of cardiac malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH)is reported. A 55-year-old womancomplained of palpitation due to atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography demonstrated a tumor arising from the posterior wall of the left atrium. At surgery, the tumor was almost entirely resected and histologically defined as MFH.Neither chemotherapy nor irradiation was administered. Echocardiography revealed a local recurrence two months after the surgery and the patient died of advanced cachexy and heart failure 2 years later. The details of this case are presented with a review of the literature.

“…Even though repeated surgical resection of local recurrence might be formidable, some authors advocated the possible role of repeated tumor resection. Okita et al [5] experienced six resections for a left atrium sarcoma, although the patient eventually died. Bakaeen et al [3] reported an example of long-term survival (119 months) after extensive repeated resection.…”

Unusual presentation of multiple recurrent cardiac sarcomas as acute acalculous cholecystitis caused by rapid expansion into the right cardiac chamber: report of a case

Sarcomas are rare malignant cardiac tumors and their prognosis is extremely poor, with a high recurrence rate despite extensive initial surgical resection. The development of therapeutic alternatives looks bleak for recurrent sarcomas, however, and complete surgical resection is crucial for any hope of survival even for the recurrent patients. We herein report the case of a 38-year-old male patient with multiple recurrent cardiac sarcomas causing acute acalculous cholecystitis 20 months after the resection of the primary tumor.

“…The longest survival was reported by Okita et al, and their patient underwent six procedures for tumor resection. 7 The efficacy of chemotherapy and irradiation regimens against MFH is controversial. 1,8 Despite the high incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis, surgical excision is considered beneficial for obtaining a histological diagnosis and ameliorating symptoms.…”
