Abstract:
Primary cardiac malignancy is very rare. Angiosarcoma is the most frequent malignant cardiac tumor and associated with a very unfavourable outcome. We report the case of an cardiac angiosarcoma complicated with cardiac tamponade revealed by echocardiography with pericardiocentesis and confirmed histopathologically in a 25 years old man.
