Primary tumours of the heart are rare. About 25% of all cardiac tumours are malignant and the most common of these is the angiosarcoma. We present a 61-year-old male with a right atrial angiosarcoma that was detected on coronary angiography. The tumour showed marked vascularity and a right coronary-to-right atrium fistula, and the patient underwent surgical resection. Pathological examination of the tumour was consistent with a cardiac angiosacoma and the diagnosis was also confirmed by immuno-histochemistry. He consequently underwent chemotherapy, however the patient died 60 days after the surgery.
原发性心脏肿瘤很罕见。所有心脏肿瘤中约25%为恶性，其中最常见的是血管肉瘤。我们报告一名61岁男性，其右心房血管肉瘤在冠状动脉造影时被发现。肿瘤显示出明显的血管化以及右冠状动脉至右心房瘘，该患者接受了手术切除。肿瘤的病理检查结果与心脏血管肉瘤相符，免疫组织化学检查也证实了诊断。因此，他接受了化疗，然而患者在手术后60天死亡。
