TL;DR
This paper describes a rare case of a massive myxofibrosarcoma tumor in the pericardium, which was surgically managed.
Contribution
The novelty lies in reporting an exceptionally large pericardial myxofibrosarcoma case, highlighting its rarity and surgical treatment.
Findings
The tumor weighed 4200 grams, making it an exceptional case of pericardial myxofibrosarcoma.
Primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma is typically located in the left atrium, but pericardial location is extremely rare.
Surgical management is the main treatment approach for such tumors.
Abstract
Primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumour usually found in the left atrium. Its pericardial location is extremely rare, and its management is mainly based on surgery. We report a historical case of myxofibrosarcoma of the pericardium weighing 4200 g.
