Pericardial effusion may originate from a wide variety of underlying pathology. Primary cardiac malignancy should always be considered as a rare underlying cause. Angiosarcoma is the most common cardiac malignancy, which often arises as a mass in the right atrium. We describe a young patient with collapse due to pericardial effusion caused by a primary cardiac angiosarcoma. The case is an example of the difficulties and dilemmas which may be encountered in assessing the diagnosis of cardiac angiosarcoma.
心包积液可能源于多种潜在的病理。原发性心脏恶性肿瘤应始终被视为一种罕见的潜在病因。血管肉瘤是最常见的心脏恶性肿瘤，它通常在右心房形成肿块。我们描述了一例因原发性心脏血管肉瘤引起的心包积液导致休克的年轻患者。该病例是评估心脏血管肉瘤诊断时可能遇到的困难和困境的一个例子。
