title: Angina pectoris from an unexpected cause.
abstract: A 53 year-old-man developed classical angina pectoris, presumably the result of coronary atherosclerosis. Thirty-two years before, an abnormality on a chest film had been described as a "prominence of the upper portion of the left cardiac border." The "prominence" was actually an angiosarcoma, which eventually compromised blood flow in the left coronary system.
