A rare case of cardiogenic fibrosarcoma is reported. A 66 y.o. male with dyspnea, cough and fatigue was examined. B-mode echo, MRI, and angiography disclosed a large tumor in the left atrium. A large fibrosarcoma and 2 cm of the left atrial wall around the tumor pedicle were removed. The atrial defect and right lower pulmonary vein were repaired with a patch. Four months later, the tumor recurred in the right lung, mediastinum, and left atrium. The tumor, middle and lower lobes of the right lung, and part of the left atrial wall were excised. One year after the first operation, the patient died of air way obstruction due to another recurrence of the fibrosarcoma in the left lung, esophagus, and mediastinum. Cardiogenic fibrosarcoma invading outward for the mediastinal organs is rare.
