abstract: A 43-year-old @entity0 with an unremarkable medical history presented to our hospital with 2   weeks of @entity1 , @entity6 and @entity5 . CT of the head revealed a large haemorrhagic @entity8 . A subsequent chest CT revealed a large left atrial mass. The mass was subsequently biopsied with positive immunohistochemistry staining for @entity9 , @entity10 and @entity7 . Real-time PCR revealed @entity9 amplification, confirming the diagnosis of @entity4 . The @entity0 underwent surgical resection and reconstruction of the atrium with subsequent discharge to short-term rehabilitation, but his symptoms continued to progress. A repeat CT of the head revealed a new cerebellar mass. He underwent a second resection, but continued to experience worsening symptoms. He was diagnosed with stage IV @entity4 and referred to hospice. The @entity0 died 5   months after initial presentation. Autopsy was performed and revealed the cause of @entity3 as @entity2 . There was no involvement of the pulmonic or aortic vessels.
