Abstract:
The management of a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma with cardiac metastasis is described in this article. Because of the extent of disease in the right ventricle, surgical resection was impossible. After disease progression on chemotherapy, a right atrial to pulmonary artery shunt was performed. Although the surgical procedure was successful, the patient died from progressive disease. Management of cardiac metastasis is also discussed.
