Similarly, metastatic pericaridal involvement or direct invasion of a cardiac tumor is much more frequent.

The first imaging tests that should be performed on suspicion of cardiothoracic disease are chest radiography and echocardiography which have a limited value in the diagnosis of cardiac tumors and require other high resolution imaging tests such as transthoracic cardiac ultrasonography, thoracic computerized tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) for correct characterization.

Cardiac echography showed abundant anterior, inferior and lateral pericardial effusion with a maximum thickness of 35–40<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm, albeit without signs of tamponade. Pericardiocentesis was performed followed by the placement of a drain with an intitial drainage of 950<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml.

In view of these findings a PET/CT study with <span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span>F-fluorodeoxyglucose (<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span>F-FDG) was carried out in search of the primary neoplasm. Only 3 areas of pathological FDG uptake in the cardiac region were of note in the whole body scan: one around the aortic arch, the second at the right subhilum level and the last adjacent to the inferior face of the right atrium (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#fig0005">Figs. 1–3</a>). These results established a differential diagnosis between a primary pulmonary neoplasm with lymph node involvement and a primary cardiac neoplasm. The bronchoscopy was negative directing the case to a primary cardiac neoplasm of pericardial localization. Two of the radiotracer deposits were localized in pericardial recesses; the perioaortic uptake corresponded to the superior aortic recess and the right subhilum to the right pulmonary venous recess. Finally, immunohistochemical analysis of the pericardial fluid confirmed the presence of angiosarcoma. The patient accidentally removed the pericardial drainage and within a few days was readmitted for a new episode of pericardial effusion together with ascites decompensation due to liver disease. Considering the poor general status of the patient, oncospecific treatment was ruled out and the patient evolved unfavorably and died due to cardiorespiratory arrest at one month after diagnosis.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0015"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Discussion</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Histologically, angiosarcoma consists of a proliferation of endothelial cells which delimit irregular vascular spaces and anastomose between each other to make up tumor masses which invade the myocardium and the pericardium presenting areas of necrosis and hemorrhage within.
