Multifocal cardiac leiomyosarcoma. Diagnosis and surveillance by transoesophageal echocardiography and contrast enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare and typically undergo aggressive local spread. There is no reliable definitive treatment, although radical surgical resection can provide palliation in the medium term. A case of a pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma with dramatic images is presented. The relative usefulness...

| description | Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare and typically undergo aggressive local spread. There is no reliable definitive treatment, although radical surgical resection can provide palliation in the medium term. A case of a pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma with dramatic images is presented. The relative usefulness of transoesophageal echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to define the extent of tumour involvement, allowing planning of treatment, is demonstrated. |
