چکیده
Primary cardiac chondrosarcoma is extremely rare with very few cases reported in the literature. Most cardiac chondrosarcomas described in the literature are secondary. We report herein a case of 22-year-old man who presented with easy fatigability, which the general practitioner diagnosed as mitral stenosis clinically. Echocardiography showed left atrial mass, possibly myxoma. The histopathology of the excised mass revealed mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Clinical and radiological studies did not reveal any other neoplasm.
