Angiosarcoma is the most common primary sarcoma of the heart and the most frequent location of the tumor is the right atrium. In the few published cases of right atrial angiosarcoma studied by transesophageal echocardiography, the features described greatly differ from one to another. We describe the transesophageal images of a prolapsing mass type angiosarcoma with polycystic appearance previously misinterpreted as a right atrial myxoma in two consecutives transthoracic echocardiograms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
