ABSTRACT
We report a case of primary undifferentiated cardiac sarcoma. The tumor originated from the left atrial free wall with multi-organ metastases, e.g., lung, and adrenal gland. The patient gradually grew worse with dyspnea and hemoptysis because of the obstructed left atrial outflow. Surgical resection of the left atrial sarcoma was undertaken to save the patient's life, followed by chemotherapy and brain irradiation as adjuvant therapy. The prognosis of cardiac sarcoma with metastases is very poor. However, in patients with hemodynamic instability, surgical intervention could be a therapeutic modality as palliation.
