Primary cardiac tumors are very rare. Cardiac sarcomas can be detected at any age, regardless of gender. At diagnosis, these mostly symptomatic and one-third metastatic. Undifferentiated pleomorphic account for 1.7% all tumors, typically localized in the left atrium, involve mitral valve. Here we present a case atrial undifferentiated sarcoma with myogenic differentiation that clinically radiologically mimicked myxoma.
