RESUMO

We report the case of a 76-year-old man with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the right ventricle and main pulmonary trunk, diagnosed through echocardiography and catheterization. Extensive resection of the right ventricular outflow tract, pulmonary valve apparatus, and main pulmonary trunk was performed, and the defect was repaired with a valveless ventriculo-pulmonary Dacron graft. The patient recovered uneventfully, and was doing well 18 months after surgery.
