Primary cardiac sarcoma is rare. This report details two cases: angiosarcoma in a 38-year-old male with fatal outcome, and leiomyosarcoma in a 19-year-old male with recurrence despite surgery and radiotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary cardiac sarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
  • Early diagnosis and effective treatment remain challenging.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A 38-year-old male presented with chest tightness, diagnosed with right atrial angiosarcoma via imaging and biopsy; partial resection was followed by death within a month.
  • Case 2: A 19-year-old male presented with dyspnea, diagnosed with left atrial leiomyosarcoma; total resection was followed by rapid recurrence, necessitating multiple surgeries and radiotherapy, ultimately leading to distant metastases.

Findings:

  • Angiosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma represent distinct histological subtypes of primary cardiac sarcoma with differing prognoses.
  • Aggressive recurrence and metastasis were observed in the leiomyosarcoma case despite multimodal treatment.

Implications:

  • These cases highlight the critical need for prompt diagnosis and aggressive management strategies for primary cardiac sarcomas.
  • Further research into novel therapeutic approaches is warranted to improve outcomes for patients with these rare tumors.
