case report
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong><em>Background</em></strong><em>:</em></span> Primary cardiac tumors are rare (0.001 to 0.03%). Malignant tumors account for 25%, of which 75% are cardiac sarcomas.<br>
<span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong><em>Case Persentation</em></strong><em>:</em></span> Here, we report a case of a 57-year-old male with palpitation and history of left atrial (LA) myxoma resection presented to cardiology clinic for postsurgical follow up and transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large non-homogenous mass in LA with right atrium invasion, which was confirmed by trans-esophageal echocardiography. The patient underwent surgical resection of tumor and the pathological diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH).<br>
<span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong><em>Conclusion</em></strong><em>:</em></span> MFH could be asymptomatic and the diagnosis be established as a surgical or complementary examination. In patients with history of myxoma resection and cardiac masses, further evaluation is recommended.</span></span><br>
