  • Title: Angiosarcoma of pericardium. Problems in diagnosis and management.
    Author: Poole-Wilson PA, Farnsworth A, Braimbridge MV, Pambakian H.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1976 Mar; 38(3):240-3. PubMed ID: 944044.
    Abstract:
    The clinical histories of two patients with angiosarcoma of the pericardium are described. Both were previously well young men who presented with cardiac tamponade caused by haemorrhagic pericardial effusions. If a pericardiectomy is undertaken for diagnosis, wide excision of the pericardium is recommended. This will provide a large specimen for histological examination and may prevent subsequent development of constriction.
