We present a case of a patient with a four-month history of gradual-onset dyspnea and generalized body weakness. During the clinical evaluation, a mass was found in the left atrium. Coronary angiography was performed and showed normal coronary arteries. We proceeded with a complete surgical excision of the tumoral mass, and histopathology confirmed it as undifferentiated cardiac sarcoma. Six months after the surgical intervention and adjuvant chemotherapy, the patient is in complete remission, with no evidence of a recurrence of the malignant pathology. Cardiac sarcoma is a rare clinical finding and a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its numerous non-specific clinical presentations.
