Primary cardiac neoplasms are extremely rare and often overlooked as differential diagnosis. Angiosarcomas are the most common primary malignant neoplasms of the heart often with nonspecific symptoms. We present a 43-year-old woman admitted to our hospital with chest pain and inferoposterolateral myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography indicated the distal occlusion of the left circumflex artery. Transthoracic and transoesophagic echocardiography revealed a mass in the left atrium with probable myocardial infiltration and vascularisation. The mass in the left atrium was removed by surgical resection, and histopathology confirmed angiosarcoma. We emphasize the pivotal role of transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography in evaluating even rare differential diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome as cardiac neoplasms.
