Abstract

BACKGROUND: Primary cardiac tumors remain exceptionally rare, characterized by a poor prognosis. Among them, sarcomas originating in the pulmonary arteries constitute the most infrequent subgroup within primary cardiac sarcomas. CASE SUMMARY: This report presents the case of a 76-year-old female experiencing a recurrence of an undifferentiated pleomorphic intracardiac pulmonary artery sarcoma located in the right ventricular outflow tract, manifesting 8 years after initial remission. Successful outcomes were attained through a combination of surgical resection, state-of-the-art radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This comprehensive approach proved essential for optimizing both survival and quality of life. DISCUSSION: The unexpectedly prolonged recurrence-free survival observed in this case underscores the effectiveness of the comprehensive multimodal treatment approach outlined in the existing literature. This highlights the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary strategy in addressing primary cardiac sarcomas, particularly those arising in the pulmonary arteries.
