Sarcoma obstructing right ventricular cavity: clinical, echocardiographic, haemodynamic and angiographic features.
Right atrial hypertension and pericardial effusion developed 2 years after mastectomy for fibrosarcoma. Clinical and echocardiographic features suggested right ventricular tumour. At catheterization the right ventricular cavity was almost obliterated, with an infundibular gradient of 13 mmHg, and biopsy of the mass was attempted. Post-mortem revealed extensive infiltrating and intracavitary right ventricular fibrosarcoma without extracardiac tumour.
