ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Cardiac angiosarcoma represents a primary cardiac malignancy tumor whose early diagnosis is difficult because of its non specific clinical presentation. We present the case of a 57 years old patient with medium abundance hemoptysis. The chest X ray film and CT scan showed bilateral pulmonary infiltrate without cardiac anomaly. Abdominal echography showed disseminated hepatic tumoral lesions. A transthoracic echocardiography made after apparition of heart failure symptoms found a right atrium cardiac tumor. The hepatic lesion biopsy showed angiosarcoma. CONCLUSION: In presence of uncommon systemic symptoms like diffuse pulmonary lesions associated with cardiac anomaly, the diagnosis of angiosarcoma should be included.
