Abstract
Cardiac angiosarcomas are rare tumours which can present with varying clinical symptoms, and are usually difficult to manage. We present a case of a young female who presented with respiratory symptoms, and was found to have a primary cardiac angiosarcoma with metastases. A discussion of primary angiosarcoma and a review of its management follows.
