A rare inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the left atrium of a 66-year-old female was resected. Three years later, a right atrial tumor, diagnosed as intimal sarcoma, appeared, raising questions about tumor progression or a new sarcoma.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Pathology
- Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm with unpredictable behavior.
- Cardiac tumors, though uncommon, require accurate diagnosis and management.
- Distinguishing between primary cardiac tumors and metastatic disease is crucial.
