Abstract

Primary malignant tumors of the heart are a rare condition. The most common type is the cardiac angiosarcoma. The symptoms of this disease are very nonspecific and can be very difficult to diagnose by conventional imaging techniques. We report the case of a male patient with cardiac angiosarcoma who also had a rare complication, this being cardiac rupture, which required the use of 18F-FDG PET-CT to demonstrate the mass malignancy and to reach a definitive diagnosis.

Keywords:
Cardiac angiosarcoma
Computed tomography
Magnetic resonance imaging
18F-FDG
Positron emission tomography-computed tomography
Resumen

Los tumores malignos primarios del corazón son una patología muy poco frecuente y de ellos, el tipo más frecuente es el angiosarcoma cardíaco. Esta patología tiene una clínica muy inespecífica y puede ser muy difícil de diagnosticar por técnicas convencionales de imagen. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con un angiosarcoma cardíaco que además presentaba una complicación muy poco frecuente, una rotura cardíaca, lo que hizo necesario el uso de la 18F-FDG PET-TC para demostrar la malignidad de la masa y poder llegar a un diagnóstico definitivo.

Palabras clave:
