    Author: Montiel J, Ruyra X, Carreras F, Caralps JM, Arís A, Padró JM.

    Abstract:
    A 66[correction of 60]-year-old female patient was admitted to hospital for clinical signs of pericardial tamponade. The pericardiocentesis revealed an hematic effusion and a left appendage mass was diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography. At surgery, a left atrial tumour was resected which histological examination showed to be an undifferentiated angiosarcoma-endothelioma with difficult histological classification. The tumoral screening was negative and the patient was discharged from the hospital. Seven months later the patient was readmitted for two parasternal tumours which anatomopathologic study revealed to be subcutaneous metastases. The rare localization in the left atrium and subcutaneous metastatic spread were discussed.
