ABSTRACT
Angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive vascular neoplasm of the endothelial cell origin. It is usually seen in male, elderly patients and generally has a poor prognosis due to its high potential for metastasis. They arise at various sites such as skin, soft tissue, heart and great vessels. However, the tumors have a predilection for skin and superficial soft tissue. Most angiosarcomas of the skin arise in the three clinical variant; primary angiosarcoma of the face and scalp in the elderly patients; following lymphedema, and post radiation or trauma. Although, this tumor tend to recur locally and metastasize to the viscera, especially in the lung, but cutaneous metastasis of angiosarcomas from the internal organ are uncommon. Herein, we report a patient with cutaneous metastasis from primary cardiac angiosarcoma in the right atrium.
