Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy that commonly metastasizes to various organs. The presenting symptoms are typically nonspecific, so a comprehensive examination is required to confirm the diagnosis promptly. This case report describes the presentation of an older patient with a history of neoplasms. Echocardiography and biopsy were performed, but despite surgical intervention to resect a large right atrial mass, the patient died. A final diagnosis of primary angiosarcoma was made based on the resected specimen.
原发性心脏血管肉瘤是一种罕见的侵袭性恶性肿瘤，通常转移至多个器官。其临床表现通常是非特异性的，因此需要进行全面检查以尽快明确诊断。本病例报告描述了一位有肿瘤病史的老年患者的临床表现。进行了超声心动图和活检，但尽管进行了手术切除右心房的大肿块，患者仍死亡。根据切除标本的病理检查，最终诊断为原发性血管肉瘤。
