Abstract:

Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a very rare low-grade vascular neoplasm. We report a case of a 61-year-old woman who suffered it in the left atrium. This case is instructive in challenging our understanding of cardiac space-occupying lesions and highlighting the importance of careful clinical evaluation.

Key words: Epithelioid angiosarcoma; Left atrium; Echocardiography
