Abstract
Primary malignant cardiac tumors are extremely rare in childhood and among them, sarcomas are most frequent. We present clinical, echocardiographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a 7-year-old child in whom an invasive malignant cardiac tumor was detected at the level of the right atrium and ventricle, with the presence of pulmonary metastases at the time of diagnosis.
