Angiosarcoma of the Right Atrium Presenting as Syncope and Hemorrhagic Pericardial Tamponade

Abstract EN

Angiosarcoma of the heart is a rare malignancy that can present in many ways.

It is an important diagnosis to consider in patients presenting with otherwise unexplained tamponade-type symptoms.

Here we present a case of a young male who presented with hemorrhagic tamponade and underwent resection of a large angiosarcoma of the right atrium.

In this case, we describe the rare presentation of angiosarcoma with its diagnostic approaches, hospital course, clinical management, and discussion.
