title: [Heart angiosarcoma and heart transplantation. Report of a case].
abstract: We present the case of a 29-year-old women with a cardiac primary angiosarcoma diagnosis. The initial symptom was a cardiac tamponade. The tests for screening metastasis proved negative. She was preoperatively treated with chemotherapy, followed by a heart transplant. There were no incidents related to surgery nor to the transplant except for a rejection in the second week biopsy. Four weeks after the transplant, the patient had a sudden dyspnea, the radiological tests confirmed the existence of a massive pleural overflow and lung and pleural metastasis. All types of therapeutical approaches were rejected except for pleurodesis. The patient died 60 days after the heart transplant.
