Primary cardiac sarcomas are uncommon and rare, with an unequal distribution in the population. A dismal prognosis is usually admitted that is related to a high propensity to develop distant metastasis with survival rarely exceeding 2 years. We report a case of a patient with a primary cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma characterized by an exceptional long-term survival after surgical treatment by a total orthotopic heart transplantation. From this limited experience, we reviewed factors that may influence survival to optimize therapeutic strategy.
