Abstract:
Cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignant tumor arising from the endothelial cells of the heart. It accounts for only a small fraction of all cardiac neoplasms and has a poor prognosis. We present a challenging case of a 20-year-old student who presented exertional dyspnea, palpitation, and occasional chest discomfort. Her clinical picture, radiological and pathological investigations confirm the diagnosis of cardiac angiosarcoma with pulmonary metastasis. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management for improved patient outcomes.
