Malignant mesenchymoma developed in an 18-year-old patient with phenytoin-associated cleft lip and palate. Although these conditions may be related by chance, the possibility of transplacental carcinogenesis by phenytoin should be considered, especially since neuroblastoma was reported recently in two children with phenytoin-induced malformations. Following combination chemotherapy for metastases, the patient experienced a 7-year disease-free interval, which is consistent with recent improvement in the treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas.

Malignant mesenchymoma of the left atrium obstructing the mitral orifice was revealed at autopsy in a 39-year-old woman with a history indicating mitral stenosis. Minor tumour nodules were found in the walls of the right and left ventricle together with a few distant metastases. Clinical findings in primary cardiac tumours and the rarity of primary malignant mesenchymoma of the heart are discussed.
