Primary cardiac malignant tumor is rare and is associated with poor survival. We report a case of primary cardiac intimal sarcoma. A 41-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with congestive heart failure. We performed tumor resection under emergency. The pathological diagnosis of the resected tumor was cardiac intimal sarcoma. There have been few reports of cardiac intimal sarcoma, and the frequency of its occurrence and prognosis are unknown. Surgery and postoperative radiation therapy may improve the prognosis.
