Primary Cardiac Angiosarcoma: A Rare Tumor
Malignant cardiac tumors are rare, with an autopsy prevalence of 0.001-0.28% [1]. Benign tumors are more common than malignant, and most initial differential diagnoses for a cardiac mass, when first detected, involve benign lesions. An angiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm characterized by rapidly proliferating, extensively infiltrating anaplastic cells derived from blood vessels that line irreg...

Unfortunately, primary cardiac angiosarcoma is often overlooked as an initial diagnosis because of its rarity. Since the time it was first identified in 1934, little progress has been made in improving survival outcome. Complete...
متن کاملPrimary cardiac angiosarcoma
BACKGROUND Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is rare, but it is the most aggressive type of cardiac malignant tumor. When disease is confirmed it is often late in its stage resulting in a poor prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION We reported a 52-year-old woman who complained of dyspnea for 2 months and dry cough for 10 days. Computed tomography (CT), F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG), positron emission tomogr...
متن کاملPrimary Cardiac Angiosarcoma
Primary cardiac sarcoma is a rare clinical entity, with an incidence of 0.0001% in collected autopsy series. The majority of the literature describes a uniformly dismal prognosis with a median survival of only 6 months for these aggressive tumors. Standard surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy have been consistently unsuccessful. Early heart transplantation and novel radiation therap...
