From Infarction to Angiosarcoma: Unraveling the Mystery of Pericardial Hematoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary cardiac angiosarcomas are extremely rare, highly aggressive tumors characterized by rapid progression and high metastatic capability.

Case summary

We present a case with unexplained pericardial hematoma after repeated right coronary infarction, combined with multimodality imaging and histopathologic examination, finally diagnosed as angiosarcoma.

Discussion

There is no published case of angiosarcoma onset of pericardial hematoma after repeated myocardial infarction. Multimodality imaging contributes to early diagnosis and optimal preoperative planning.
