ABSTRACT

We report a 49-year-old Southeast Asian woman diagnosed with metastatic primary right atrial angiosarcoma (PCA) and the difficulties encountered in this diagnosis and its subsequent management. Diagnosis of PCA is often delayed due to non-specific clinical presentation of patients. These tumours often present once metastatic spread has occurred, restricting treatment options and leading to very poor prognosis. Patients undergo a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach involving chemotherapy, radiotherapy and, if eligible, surgery, but evidence-based treatment guidelines have yet to be established due to the rarity of the tumour.
