An Enormous Angiosarcoma in the Right Atrium of the Heart with an Impressive Outcome

Abstract

Angiosarcomas of the heart are extremely rare tumors and tend to be located in the right atrium. Echocardiogram, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are imaging techniques to detect and consider precisely. Surgery is the cornerstone of the therapy modality, but it can be supplied by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Survival and outcomes of heart sarcomas are unfortunately poor. Our study was about angiosarcoma of the heart. We have managed both surgery and oncologic procedures well. Thus, the patient is still alive 21 months after the surgery. Our aim is to share our successful experiments and contribute to the literature.
