Abstract
A 49-year-old woman was seen because of exertional dyspnea. Two-dimens ional echocardiography revealed the presence of a large mass in the le ft atrium. An urgent operation was performed because the tumor suddenl y stuck in the mitral orifice. The lesion, which occupied the entire l eft atrium, was resected during cardiopulmonary bypass. Histologic ana lysis revealed malignant hemangiopericytoma.
