Primary cardiac intimal sarcoma is an extremely rare diagnosis. The mainstay management of intimal cardiac sarcoma is aggressive surgical resection. Unfortunately, the prognosis of cardiac sarcomas remains very poor, with a mean survival between 3 months and 1 year. This case of cardiac intimal sarcoma highlights the difficulty in establishing a diagnosis, particularly given the unusual presentation of AF.
