Abstract :
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.
