Abstrakt: Fibrosarcoma is a rare primary cardiac malignancy. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman who had signs of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by a fibrosarcoma. The pivotal role of multiplanar transesophageal echocardiography in characterizing masses in this location and in guiding transvenous biopsy is discussed.
