Recurrent Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma in the Left Atrium 

Abstract

Presentamos el caso de un joven con síntomas constitucionales y disnea de 9 meses, con evidencia de una masa gigante ubicada en la aurícula izquierda que obstruye el tracto de salida de la válvula mitral que requiere resección. La patología mostró sarcoma pleomórfico poco diferenciado con recurrencia muy agresiva poco después de la cirugía. Esta patología es poco frecuente y tiene un pronóstico ominoso a corto plazo. Su tratamiento es la resección quirúrgica y la quimioterapia adyuvante y la radioterapia aún no está claramente definidaWe present the case of a young man with constitutional symptoms and dyspnea lasting 9 months, with evidence of a giant mass located at the left atrium obstructing the outflow tract of the mitral valve requiring resection. Pathology showed poorly differentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with very aggressive recurrence shortly after surgery. This pathology is un-frequent and has an ominous short-term prognosis.
