Primary malignant tumors of the heart are a rare condition. The most common type is the cardiac angiosarcoma. The symptoms of this disease are very nonspecific and can be very difficult to diagnose by conventional imaging techniques. We report the case of a male patient with cardiac angiosarcoma who also had a rare complication, this being cardiac rupture, which required the use of (18)F-FDG PET-CT to demonstrate the mass malignancy and to reach a definitive diagnosis.
原发性心脏恶性肿瘤是一种罕见病症。最常见的类型是心脏血管肉瘤。这种疾病的症状非常不具有特异性,通过传统成像技术很难诊断。我们报告一例患有心脏血管肉瘤的男性患者,该患者还出现了一种罕见的并发症,即心脏破裂,这需要使用(18)F-FDG PET-CT来显示肿块的恶性程度并得出明确诊断。
