Angiosarcoma

Angiosarcoma

This is the heart of 66yrs old male who came to the ER with shortness of breath, unintentional weight loss and swelling in his legs. Ultrasound showed a mass in his right atrium of thr heart. Biopsy was done immediately. The results of the biopsy revealed high-grade Angiosarcoma. During the examination of the heart multiple infilterations of the tumor in the epicardium were observed. Left ventricle hypertrophy was also prominent. Tumor debulking surgery was performed followed by chemotherapy. But the patient died before receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.
