Angiosarcoma of the heart is a rare and highly malignant tumour. Most of the reported cases have been diagnosed post mortem. In a one year period two cases were diagnosed during life and surgically treated. The only possible hope for survival is early diagnosis and surgical removal. Our cases illustrate the contribution of cardiac imaging techniques to early diagnosis and the feasibility of radical excision of this tumour.
心脏血管肉瘤是一种罕见且高度恶性的肿瘤。大多数已报道的病例是在尸检时确诊的。在一年的时间里,有两例在生前被诊断出来并接受了手术治疗。生存的唯一可能希望是早期诊断和手术切除。我们的病例说明了心脏成像技术对早期诊断的贡献以及这种肿瘤根治性切除的可行性。
