title: Fistula formation from neovascularity developing in malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the heart.
abstract: Neovascularity in cardiac tumours is uncommon and fistula formation from such neovascularity is extremely rare. Fistula formation from neovascularity developing in a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the heart is described in a 48-year-old man. The the case illustrates that cardiac tumour is not only a cause of cardiac output obstruction but also of coronary artery fistula.
