Primary cardiac chondrosarcoma with rapid MFH-like recurrence: case report and review of tumor type.
We present a case report of a patient with a rare primary cardiac tumor, chondrosarcoma. After initial excision, a locally advanced recurrence appeared within six weeks at a different site in the heart with the histological features of a high-grade sarcoma. We discuss the background, management and prognosis of these rare tumors.
