Abstract
We report on a case of a malignant hemangioendotheliosarcoma in the right coronary artery. The first manifestation was a pericardial tamponade from a hemorrhagic pericardial effusion. The diagnosis was established only by selective coronary angiography of the right coronary artery, other imaging procedures did not lead to the diagnosis. During follow-up, multiple angiosarcoma developed in the liver, the spleen and, finally, in the lungs. Despite multichemotherapy, the patient died 7 months after the first manifestation.Entities:
