title: Right coronary artery-right atrium fistula in primary angiosarcoma of the heart.
abstract: We report a case of angiosarcoma of the heart, manifested as a continuous murmur. Right coronary arteriography disclosed a paracardiac mass with fistulas from the coronary vessel to the right atrium. Histologic study revealed this to be an angiosarcoma with sinusoidal pattern. To our knowledge, this is the first case of this kind of cardiac tumor presenting as a fistula from a coronary artery to the right atrium.
