ABSTRACT
Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare and rapidly progressing tumor characterized by high predilection for right-sided heart involvement and a very poor prognosis. In this report, we present a case of angiosarcoma involving right atrium and ventricle in 61-year old woman with clinical presentation of repeated bloody pericardial effusion. Right atrial perforation was confirmed by contrast echocardiography using hand-agitated saline contrast. Primary cardiac angiosarcoma was confirmed by histological and immunohistochemical studies.
