Abstract
Cardiac leiomyoscarcomas is a rare subset of the already infrequent
primary malignant cardiac neoplastic spectrum. The most common site for
a primary leiomyosarcoma is the right ventricle with fewer than five
globally reported cases in the left ventricle. Most present with
non-specific symptoms but attention is usually sought after the
appearance of compressive symptoms or arrhythmias. We present the case
of a left ventricular leiomyosarcoma that had a delayed diagnosis and
its subsequent surgical management.
