Previous studies have reported that these tumours account for only 6.7\u201312.8% of all mediastinal tumours with an overall prevalence of 0.001% to 0.007%. The majority of these tumours are benign lipomas or pericardial cysts. The most common pericardial malignancy is mesothelioma. Sarcomas are soft-tissue mesenchymal malignancies originating from various parts of the body but are extremely rare in this area. We report a case of a 52-year-old female who was diagnosed with a primary sarcoma with rhabdoid differentiation originating from the pericardium. The patient presented to her GP with a four-week history of progressive dyspnea and chest pain on exertion. Chest X-Ray demonstrated a prominent pericardial effusion and suspicious chest and pericardial lesions. Biopsies of the effusion and primary tumour identified on FDG\/PET scans revealed the diagnosis of primary undifferentiated sarcoma. On thoracotomy, it was noted that the tumour had invaded the right atrium; therefore, pericardial window was aborted and a drain inserted instead. The patient was then started on chemotherapy; however, progression soon occurred and the patient died within 4 months, suggesting there is urgent need for efficacious treatments for sarcomatous lesions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/6208029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,21]],"date-time":"2016-11-21T19:10:28Z","timestamp":1479755428000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Primary Pericardial Sarcoma with Right Atrial Invasion and Multiple Bilateral Pulmonary Metastases in a Patient with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5799-5083","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Eugene","family":"Wong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal North Shore Hospital, Reserve Road, St Leonards, NSW 2065, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3548-2148","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lawrence J.","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal North Shore Hospital, Reserve Road, St Leonards, NSW 2065, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazi","family":"Nahar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal North Shore Hospital, Reserve Road, St Leonards, NSW 2065, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal North Shore Hospital, Reserve Road, St Leonards, NSW 2065, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Clarke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal North Shore Hospital, Reserve Road, St Leonards, NSW 2065, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2005.40709.x"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.22295"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1470-2045(05)70093-0"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/heart.85.2.218"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4061\/2011\/853078"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/pmj.76.902.809"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/annonc\/mdu460"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Oncological Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crionm\/2016\/6208029.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crionm\/2016\/6208029.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crionm\/2016\/6208029.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,21]],"date-time":"2016-11-21T19:10:29Z","timestamp":1479755429000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crionm\/2016\/6208029\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":7,"alternative-id":["6208029","6208029"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2016\/6208029","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6706","2090-6714"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6706"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6714"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
