Recurrent Cardiac Tamponade from Right Atrial Angiosarcoma

In view of immunohistochemistry, it expressed positive endothelial markers CD31 and erythroblast transformation-specific (ETS)-related gene (ERG) oncoprotein [Figure 1], also corresponding to angiosarcoma, but negative for calretinin, actin, desmin, CD68, human melanoma black 45, S-100, and CK. Acco...

Description
Summary:In view of immunohistochemistry, it expressed positive endothelial markers CD31 and erythroblast transformation-specific (ETS)-related gene (ERG) oncoprotein [Figure 1], also corresponding to angiosarcoma, but negative for calretinin, actin, desmin, CD68, human melanoma black 45, S-100, and CK. According to the above findings, the diagnosis of primary right atrial angiosarcoma was confirmed. [...]right atrial angiosarcoma resection with tricuspid valvuloplasty was performed. [...]patients often have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis.
