title: Appearance of recurrent cardiac myxofibrosarcoma on FDG PET/CT.
abstract: Primary cardiac sarcomas are extremely rare tumors. In this case report, we presented the condition of a 37-year-old male patient diagnosed with myxofibrosarcoma after histopathologic evaluation of the left atrium mass excision. FDG PET/CT was performed and showed recurrent hypermetabolic lesions in the left atrial wall and right anterior mediastinal region.
