摘要：Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is rare in clinic.However,it is the most common malignant tumor in the heart,accounting for 15％-35％ of all cardiac tumors.[1,2] It is a very aggressive disease characterized by high rates of local recurrence and systemic metastases,and it is a poor prognosis.[3] Echocardiography,computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are important tools for diagnosing cardiac angiosarcoma and are valuable in guiding surgical resection and in monitoring treatment efficacy.At present,the rarity of this disease and a lack of large-scale clinical studies render it difficult to standardize the treatment.Nevertheless,surgical treatment is preferred as the primary treatment.[4] Here,we present a case of a 38-year-old female patient with a well-differentiated angiosarcoma of the right atrium,with an intention to draw attentions of clinicians on this aggressive disease,and to provide some experience on its diagnosis and treatment.
