A 68-year-old woman was seen with recent-onset dysphagia. Investigations suggested a large retrocardiac tumor. At thoracotomy, a highly vascular tumor was found, involving the posterior and left aspect of the pericardium with attachment to the heart. The lesion was partially removed, and histopathological analysis revealed a malignant hemangiopericytoma. To our knowledge, this tumor site and its presentation have not been reported before.
