Primary pleomorphic sarcoma of the left atrium is a rare tumor. There is no actual evidence of the management of this pathological entity, so the main treatment is individualized, surgical management being the cornerstone of the treatment. We present a 78-year-old female who had a clinical picture of heart failure, documenting an atrial mass of the left atrium, with high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma revealed in histopathology. The tumor was surgical removed, with no clinical evidence of residual mass. The tumor recurred again within 3 years, to which the patient succumbed.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the small intestine is an extremely rare condition. It occurs most commonly in the extremities and the trunk. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman who admitted with fever, myalgia, and altered status. After thorough investigation, a tumor of the jejunum was found. The patient underwent complete surgical removal of the tumor. A diagnosis of MFN (undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma) was made. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with Gemcitabine. Two years after the operation, the patient died due to recurrence of the disease. MFH of the small intestine is an extremely rare neoplasm with an aggressive biological behaviour. In this paper, pathogenesis, natural history, and treatment are reviewed.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma constitutes less than 5 % of all sarcomas in adults and has been rarely seen in the breast and is dened as a group of pleomorphic, high-grade sarcomas in which any attempt to disclose their line of differentiation has failed . Most undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas(UPS) have occurred in their sixth and seventh decades of life and very rarely in adolescents and adults. We report a case of 24 year old female presented with painless lump in right breast and rapidly increasing in size for last 5 months. Iinitial diagnosis was made as sarcoma breast on the basis of physical and radiological examination. After that total mastectomy was done without axillary lymph node dissection, as lymphatic spread is very rare. But without histopathological examination and most importantly IHC-panel, it is impossible to make a denitive diagnosis of UPS breast.
