angiosarcoma, neoplasia, cardiac tamponadeAbstract
Angiosarcoma is an extremely rare pathology with a male predominance. Echocardiography is the diagnostic mainstay. There is no defined therapeutic regimen and treatment is based on surgical resection accompanied by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with a poor prognosis. Our clinical case deals with a young woman with cardiac angiosarcoma in the right atrium, as in 90% of cases, in which its debut as cardiac tamponade stands out, as well as the good initial response to the treatment regimen with chemotherapy and radiotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment, which achieved a survival of 12 months, higher than the average described.
