Primary cardiac neoplasms are particularly unusual. Angiosarcoma is the most frequently seen histological subtype and is described by its infiltrating and damaging nature. Inappropriately, primary cardiac angiosarcoma is often missed as a preliminary diagnosis because of its scarcity. We present a 29-year-old previously healthy man with complete heart block and pericardial effusion who was finally diagnosed with angiosarcoma of the right atrium with extension to SVC and IVC.
原发性心脏肿瘤极为罕见。血管肉瘤是最常见的组织学亚型,其特点是具有浸润性和破坏性。由于原发性心脏血管肉瘤较为罕见,其初步诊断常常被漏诊。我们报告一例29岁既往健康的男性,出现完全性心脏传导阻滞和心包积液,最终诊断为右心房血管肉瘤并侵犯上腔静脉和下腔静脉。
