Jakowski et al. [4] 2008 | 44/F | 12 | Arose from the right epicardium at the atrioventricular groove adherent to the right ventricular free wall | Admixture of hypocellular myxoid and hyper-cellular spindle cell areas in a collagenous stroma with numerous large hyalinized collagen rosettes | Surgical resection | Alive without remission or residual symptoms in 7 months of follow-up |
