[A primary undifferentiated pleomorph cardiac sarcoma. Case report].
The aim of the study was to characterize the clinical and histological picture of a malignant cardiac tumor, to assess the prognosis and to develop a management strategy. We described a primary cardiac sarcoma, located in the right ventricle. Minimal invasive right thoracotomy was used and a partial surgical excision of the malignant cardiac tumor was made as a palliative procedure. The malignant cardiac tumour continues to have a poor prognosis despite of the individualization of the approach.
