Abstrakt: | Undifferentiated mesenchymal tumors from the intimal layer (intimal sarcomas) are rare within the ventricles and exceptional in children. A rare case of an intimal sarcoma located in the right ventricle in a young child is presented with need for urgent surgical resection due to mechanical flow obstruction. Tumor cells showed amplification of MDM2 gene and a homozygous loss of CDKN2A on 9p21. A review of the literature regarding primary cardiac malignancies and intimal sarcoma in children is provided. Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
