    Author: Marafioti T, Castorino F, Gula G.
    Journal: Pathologica; 1993; 85(1095):103-11. PubMed ID: 8390635.
    Abstract:
    A case of cardiac angiosarcoma of the right atrium in a man aged of 41 years is described. The immunohistochemical methods showed a positivity for Factor VIII, Vimentin, Lectin UEA1 and very poor reactivity for a histiocytary markers. Electron microscopy confirmed the endothelial differentiation of some tumour cells. The relations between genuine cardiac angiosarcomas, malignant fibrous histiocytomas, and Kaposi's sarcomas arising in the heart are discussed.
