Background:
Primary cardiac angiosarcomas are extremely rare, highly aggressive tumors characterized by rapid progression and high metastatic capability.
Case Summary:
We present a case with unexplained pericardial hematoma after repeated right coronary infarction, combined with multimodality imaging and histopathologic examination, finally diagnosed as angiosarcoma.
Discussion:
There is no published case of angiosarcoma onset of pericardial hematoma after repeated myocardial infarction. Multimodality imaging contributes to early diagnosis and optimal preoperative planning.
