Two years survival of primary cardiac leiomyosarcoma managed by surgical and adjuvant therapy

Article scientifique 2017 Anglais

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Cardiac tumors are a very rare entity. Leiomyosarcoma represents less than 1% of cases. CASE PRESENTATION: a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with primary left atrium leiomyosarcoma. She was treated by optimal surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. She is still alive after a follow-up of 24 months without evidence of local or distant recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor with a dismal prognosis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Adjuvant treatment is still controversial.
