An Unusual Cause of Functional Mitral Stenosis: A Left Atrial Intimal Sarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Primary cardiac tumors are rare, with an incidence of <0.1% in postmortem series; sarcomas comprise 75% of these. Cardiac sarcomas may be life-threatening at the time of presentation. We describe a left atrial intimal sarcoma presenting with constitutional symptoms, obstructive shock, and systemic emboli, and treated with proton beam therapy. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Primary cardiac intimal sarcoma masquerading as mitral stenosis.

Project description:Intimal sarcomas are a very rare medical entity and usually arise from the pulmonary artery or the thoracic aorta. Sarcomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with suspected mitral valve disease. Echocardiography should be performed as early as possible to establish a prompt diagnosis and management.
