Right coronary artery-right atrium fistula in primary angiosarcoma of the heart.

چکیده
We report a case of angiosarcoma of the heart, manifested as a continuous murmur. Right coronary arteriography disclosed a paracardiac mass with fistulas from the coronary vessel to the right atrium. Histologic study revealed this to be an angiosarcoma with sinusoidal pattern. To our knowledge, this is the first case of this kind of cardiac tumor presenting as a fistula from a coronary artery to the right atrium.

Coronary artery fistulae are uncommon but may be haemodynamically significant, being an incidental finding in 0.1-0.2% of coronary angiograms. Even rarer is the association between fistulae and non-atherosclerotic coronary artery aneurysms. They most frequently originate in the right coronary artery, and the right cardiac chambers are the most common draining chambers. Most children are asympto...
