Pulmonic stenosis caused by a malignant tumor of the heart : A case report

Abstract

A description is given of a case of primary sarcoma growing from the right ventricular wall of the heart, with stenosis of the pulmonary artery as a result of invading tumor tissue. Two other cases are mentioned.

In the case described, the initial manifestation suggested an isolated infundibular pulmonic stenosis. A right to left shunt through a patent formamen ovale developed later.

The diagnosis was established by angiocardiography during the patient's life.
