Unusual cardiac tamponade: Giant primary cardiac myxoid liposarcoma.

Primary cardiac myxoid liposarcoma is an extremely rare disease. We reported a 61-year-old man with a 1-month history of aggressive dyspnea and anorexia due to a giant primary cardiac myxoid liposarcoma. Radical resection, whenever feasible, is considered to be an appropriate surgical strategy for this disease. Heart transplantation may be an alternative therapy for such isolated and unresectable tumor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
