ABSTRACT
Male patient 54 years old who debuted with respiratory failure that preceded a box of heart failure. When performing transthoracic echocardiography mass was observed in moderate right ventricular outflow tract obstruction thereof. Additional imaging studies such as chest radiography, tomography multislice proven thoraco-abdominal, abdominal ultra-sound and an image was shown on the base right posterior lung were performed. Compatible Biopsy of the lesion was performed with tumor mesenchymal cells. Given the high probability that it was not advanced neoplastic disease underwent surgery. The patient died days later in acute renal failure. The final pathological diagnosis confirmed the presence of spindle cell sarcoma of the right ventricle of the heart with multiple metastases.
