[Echocardiographic diagnosis of angiosarcoma of the heart]

Cardiac angiosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of the heart that is rarely diagnosed ante mortem. The authors present the case of a 73-year-old female with right atrial angiosarcoma that was followed-up echocardiographically for 20 months. Echocardiographic features suggestive of primary and metastatic malignant tumours of the right heart are discussed.
