Cardiac intimal sarcomas are the least reported type of primary malignant tumours of the heart. They are encountered more commonly in the large arterial blood vessels, including the pulmonary artery and aorta, and are extremely rare in the heart. A prompt diagnosis is essential as they are considered extremely aggressive.
