RESUMO
Primary cardiac osteogenic sarcomas are rare malignancies. Less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature. Most of them have been found in the left side of the heart. We report a case of a primary osteogenic sarcoma of the left atrium in a 28 year old female. She underwent resection of the tumor and subsequently heart transplantation. To our knowledge this is the second patient with a primary cardiac osteosarcoma who underwent heart transplantation
