Primary cardiac tumors are rare with an incidence ranging from 0.001% to 0.03% in autopsy series. The prognosis of cardiac sarcomas remains poor because it proliferates rapidly, and distant metastases are often found at diagnosis. We present a case of liposarcoma in the atrium of the heart and, we do a literature review about it. Case Report: We present the case of a young 30 years old female with a significant tumor of cardiac liposarcoma, with chief complaint of dyspnea, tachycardia and even angina pectoris. Conclusion: The physician’s differential diagnosis must be broad when encountering common chief complaints, such as tachycardia, and angina pectoris.
