Abstract
- Primary cardiac tumors are rare, and primary malignant cardiac tumors are even rarer. Of these, angiosarcoma was uncommon. Surgical resection of the tumor was very difficult because symptoms were nonspecific and did not become present until the tumor had advanced. A 15-year-old male patient was diagnosed with primary cardiac angiosarcoma by microscopic examination under surgery and underwent resection of the tumor, which compressed and obstructed the right atrium. He was discharged from the hospital after 15 days without any problems.
