| Popis: | Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare tumor, and surgical resection is often required to relieve its symptoms. A 54-year-old male with a large primary cardiac angiosarcoma is described in this case report. The tumor was located in the right atrium and right ventricle. The bulk was resected with the right coronary artery (RCA), and partial right atrium and partial right ventricle resections were performed during cardiopulmonary bypass. The resected tumor measured 15 x 10 x 8 cm, and the histopathological diagnosis was well differentiated primary cardiac angiosarcoma. In the postoperative period, the patient was followed up for 22 months, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy were performed for metastases. The optimal therapy for cardiac angiosarcoma is still controversial, but combined treatment including surgical resection should be considered. |
