Primary Cardiac Epithelioid Angiosarcoma with Sustained Remission following Surgical Resection: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Epithelioid angiosarcoma is an extremely rare subtype of cardiac angiosarcoma that is highly aggressive and associated with poor prognosis. Due to its rare nature, the epidemiology and pathogenesis of this disease are not well-known. Thus, effective diagnostic and treatment modalities are limited.
