title: [Lipomyxosarcoma of the pulmonary veins extending into the left atrium. Repetitive surgical treatment].
abstract: The case reported here of a 54-year old woman with lipomyxosarcoma of the pulmonary veins successfully excised is the first in the literature. The initial symptoms were febrile left ventricular failure with pulmonary oedema and haemoptysis. The diagnosis was made by angiocardiography. The tumour was excised in two stages: cardiac first, under cardiopulmonary bypass, then thoracic with left pneumonectomy. Two years after surgery, the patient is in good condition without chemotherapy.
