    Journal: Rev Clin Esp; 1992 Apr; 190(6):302-4. PubMed ID: 1598428.
    Abstract:
    The case is presented of a primitive heart angiosarcoma (PHA) in a 53-year-old woman who developed repeated episodes of hemopericardium with cardiac tamponade. A literature review is performed. PHA is the most frequent primitive cardiac tumor. It is usually localized in the right striatum and is accompanied by effusion of pericardium and right heart failure. The diagnosis is usually made late and bidimensional echography is of great value. Treatment is surgical, if possible. Chemotherapy protocols are being used but with obscure prognosis.
