Abstract

A 31-year-old lady presented with anemia and syncope. Echocardiography revealed massive pericardial effusion with a right atrial mass. Transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans confirmed presence of a right atrial mass. Histopathology revealed a high grade angiosarcoma. Complete resection was done and the patient was referred to an oncology unit for further management. After three months the patient had extensive metastasis and succumbed to the disease. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, rapid and aggressive course of cardiac angiosarcomas.
