Brief Communications - Undiffentiated sarcoma of the mitral valve with secondaries in brain in a girl of 22 years
Sudarshan G, Vamsy Mohana, Murthy SSudha, Kumar VSudhakar
Abstract
During a mitral valve replacement surgery in a girl of 22 years of age, it was accidentally discovered that the valve was destroyed due to a tumor and the histopathology and immunohistochemistry findings have proved it to be undifferentiated sarcoma. She was advised by the surgeon to go for chemotherapy. There was a delay of three months from the side of the patient to reach us and during that interval she has developed secondaries in the brain. This case is being presented here for its rarity.
Keywords
Malignant tumors of the heart, brain secondaries from malignant tumors of heart
