Abstract

We present a case of a 49-year-old patient with cardiac tamponade due to haemopericardium. The decision to perform surgery, although controversial, allowed to diagnose cardiac angiosarcoma with metastases to pericardium, vena cava superior and pulmonary trunk. Consequently, chemotherapy was instituted and was initially effective, however, the patient died 12 months later due to the progression of the disease.
