title: Angiosarcoma of the heart.
abstract: A 17-year-old boy presented with severe chest pain which partially subsided on anti-inflammatory medication. Five week later he was admitted with fully developed cardiac tamponade. Within five days surgical exploration revealed an nonresectable right atrial tumour. Management of angiosarcoma of the heart is discussed.
