Leiomyosarcoma of the right atrium
Abstract
The principal method for early diagnostics of cardiac tumors is echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography allows to determine more accurately localization of the growth, structure and flexibility, and also the degree of obstruction of AVvalves. We demonstrate a clinical case of leiomyosarcoma of the right atrium, its clinical manifestations were cardiac insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmia and pericardial effusion. Difficulties in diagnostics were connected with nonspecific complaints due to tumor localization and infiltration with tumoral tissue into the cardiac structures. Our clinical case is of interest because of rarity of pathology, difficulty of intravital diagnostics of disease and interpretation of nonspecific clinical picture.
