| Abstract |
|
Primary cardiac tumors are rare findings and they are mostly benign. Malignant primary cardiac tumors make up 25% of the primary cardiac tumors and most of them are sarcomas. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in late adulthood, and it is an extremely rare sub-type of cardiac sarcoma. It is known that MFH displays a poor clinical course with complete resection being the most important prognostic factor for survival. We described here the case of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the heart in a 54-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea. The tumor was treated by mass excision via cardiac explantation and autotransplantation followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. This is the first report of cardiac autotransplantation in Korea.(Korean J Med 73:223-227, 2007)
